“Our hearts grow
tender with childhood memories and love of kindred,
and we are better
throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at
Christmas-time.”
(Laura Ingalls Wilder)
Christmas is coming, it is one
of the most important and magnificent holidays of the Christian calendar. This
is a miraculous time of year when people begin to believe in miracles again and
become pure-minded like heartfelt children.
We all come from childhood. This
is a fun and good time which is associated with sweet memories and a sense of
continuing happiness. I remember this happy-go-lucky period of my life when I
dreamed with confidence without thinking whether my dreams would come true or
not. On Christmas Eve there were dozens of lights which burnt in my house.
Honestly, this amazing picture made my heart so bright and happy that I wanted
to embrace the whole world. I waited always for Christmas time because it was
very great to help my parents to make a special dinner and feel breathtaking holiday
atmosphere. Even growing up I become a light-hearted child again for a while,
forget all the troubles and plunge into the world of magic at Christmas.
Moreover, everything changes in
the days of Christmas. In this period of time even the most hardened
cynics turn into romantics and become a little kinder. Most people forget about all the difficulties
and could be among friends and relatives. All the year round we called each
other on the phone occasionally, however at Christmas all loving people gather together
at the same table. There is an opportunity to hug each other, talk, and wish
happiness during this marvelous night. On Christmas Eve, the sky opens its
gates, and we can make a wish, importantly that it should be sincere and from
the heart.
I want to believe that we can
start a new countdown on the eve of this holiday and our life will be more
successful and full of incredible things. Once upon a time there was already a
miracle, the birth of Jesus Christ. We yearn to believe in wonders and wish to
let a little Christmas magic enter into our lives. Enjoy your life and go
towards your dream like children - and then the most cherished desires will be
fulfilled.
