Every year we celebrate Christmas but I doubt we know what Christmas really means. When I was a youngerwhen Christmas comes, I'll be so excited because I'll be recieving gifts and there will be lots of lights in the streets and food on our table. That's when I thought that Christmas is just about recieving gifts, seeing lights on trees and having plenty of food in the table.
        But as I mature, I learned that Christmas is not just about material things. Last year, I had the worst Christmas ever. My parents were fighthing that every Christmas eve. I thougt it was just a misunderstanding and that they would give that up for us to spend Christmas together. It turned out that they didn't, As a result my sisters and I celebreted Christmas without our parents. We were all alone during that very special day. And we weren't able to do that because of a slly, pathetic fight. And i realized that Christmas is not about lights. foods and recieving gifts. It's all about aabout love and forgiveness. And we can celebrate Christmas everyday. We just need to give love and to forgive.
         And I promise, I won't be spending this Christmas and all the other Christmas. I will live my remaining days and years with love  and forgiveness in the way I can always feel Christmas.
