When there's Christmas, there's Scrooge

This is one Christmas that I'm hard put to spend.
Either I had an Epiphany of sorts and finally realized
the true meaning of Jesus' Nativity.
Or I'm just getting old and and am becoming a scrooge.

For one, kids are tweens and are no believers of Santa.
Is that bad? 
Second, I don't have a list yet and I'm scared to make one.
Sure I know that I have a responsibility, at the least, for us
to have some sense of yuletide spirit.
I've put up the tree, isn't that enough?

Last Thursday, traffic wasn't just in Edsa, it was also in the escalator.Tried to squeeze in buying daughter's accessory for their school's annual
Christmas play, shoppers were rushing as SM opened promptly at ten a.m.
One parent thought of placing his child in the willowy cart and kid tumbled 
out as they landed on the next floor.
Poor thing! Carts are not carnival rides.
Such mayhem can make one abhor malls.

Then today, I was all scheduled to buy that birthday giftie for myself,
faced with the shiny thing, I turned away. It didn't seem to matter
much buying it anymore. What is happening?

Could it be that in the new office group I'm in, peeps are less
pomp and more brains? Is it more harmonious to blend in or would I
rather not care and keep the airline grooming standards thought to
us in my former department?

I remember this tweet: "With great style, comes great responsibility."
And with responsiblity more or less means breaking your bank.
Style's not cheap.

It's only my Day 4 tomorrow and the more I talk to these people and
have a glimpse of their lives, the more I feel somehow insignificant
with my shallow material wants. They're like bored, rich, corporate habitues
but of simple demeanor, unassuming personal circumstances and living
meaningful lives.

I feel lucky that I have this opportunity to be right, front, and center as
great minds talk.

So I'm taking it in one breath at a time.

If it influences my material view of the season, then I think that's good.
Epiphany is real and let's just give love and hug as gifts then. ;)

Christmas Is A Time For Everybody

Christmas is the time for love and sharing. You can say it's a time for getting a lot of gifts and money. But we all agree that it's the time to remember the Lord Jesus Christ and his birth. Everybody loves the presents and food when it's Christmas. It's like a fiesta! But when Christmas is here, we will always be ready to share.

Kids always write to Santa. They want a nice gift from him. Everyone will wonder why the cookies and milk we'll leave will be gone. And the presents that wasn't there yesterday. And we all agree that those things were done on Christmas Eve was done by Santa Claus. So the next time you see a new gift under the tree, you know who that person is.

Christmas is our favorite time of the year. The presents we receive and the food (in a) on a giant fiesta table. (Bu) But the missing ingredient in this (Chrim) Christmas special is the love we show. In this (s) special (its) it is not just our family and friends it's also the poor. We should also show them how happy we are. For happiness I wish everyday is Christmas.
