Christmas... a time for presents, or a time for joy?!?!?

        
            Every year, after Thanksgiving, it's said that Santa will come around with a bundle of presents for the good boys and girls. Every year, millions of children get gifts. Now getting presents isn't a crime. Everybody should get to experience the joy of getting what you want. But have you ever wondered that Christmas is about getting, not giving?

          Christmas is a favorite holiday to lots of children of all different sizes. Yes, it is a time to enjoy with your family, but is it all about the gifts now. This holiday is a religious holiday. A time where you celebrate the day Jesus was born. And yet, every year people get tons of presents. Have you ever wondered about the needy, which don't even get enough food to survive?  Christmas is a time to give not to get!!! To spend time with your family, and to celebrate the birth of Jesus. My friends mom said that kids these days don't realize the true meaning of Christmas. It's not to get, and then want more, it's a time where families spend time with each other.

            The joy of getting presents is much more then you think. When you wake up on Christmas Eve, looking at those presents under that beautiful Christmas tree, don't you feel like a rainbow fell right under you? Yes, although Christmas is about religious topics and family, it's always so nice to get what you want once a year. It's always so nice to see those presents that you've wanted and waited for all this time under the Christmas tree. Christmas is a time where little boys and girls jump for joy because Santa Clause is coming to town. To see your family member or friend open your gift and see that smile on their face, doesn't that make you glow. Getting and giving presents is not a crime, but a thing that you could enjoy.
