“Christmas
is not a date. It is a state of mind.”
(Mary Ellen Chase)
Have you ever thought what naturally
Christmas is? If you were asked, there would be probably such words in your
answer as: Santa Claus, Christmas tree, gifts or presents, decorations,
mistletoes, candles or whatever more. Anyway you can’t but mention Christmas as
a date. Actually, Christmas is not a date. It is a state of mind.
Christmas is a state that makes people
believe in miracle, wonder and love. Love becomes more powerful, because
Christmas is not about one man, it is about all men, the children of God.
Someone has said that if there was no Christmas, it would be necessary to
invent one. However, these words are no doubt true. Unlike any holiday,
Christmas reminds people about love that surrounds us and should be expressed
within all of us. That is why we sing, smile and a handshake replaced by a hug
these days. A date can’t inspire people, they are inspired by the state of
mind, that captures us all.
Nevertheless, one or two weeks before,
all members of a family gather and begin to decorate their Christmas tree. The
atmosphere of wonder, kind and hope is settled in these family members’ minds.
Each expects everyone to give and take mutual kindness, care and love. So this
state of mind leaves no other choice for them but believe in Christmas as
something that unite and warm their hearts.
It is hardly possible not to agree
with the fact that Christmas leaves us a great feeling of something unnatural
has already happened, and still, it is happening. The fact is that Christmas,
as the state of mind, continues to make our hearts beat in the merry rhythm of
forgiveness and readiness to help. Even after clock strikes twelve people
believe that everything will be fine.
However any date, even when it is a
holiday, can’t last more than twenty four hours. In case Christmas is a state
of mind, only then, we can speak about its immortal ability to sustain an
atmosphere of wonder that spreads among all the people celebrating this
wonderful holiday. We can celebrate Christmas whenever we wish, even each day,
if our hearts and souls really want to. Because it is not certainly a date, it
is a state of mind that goes as a reminder for us to act: help, unite, forgive
and love people.
