Since childhood, I receive got been watching how Christmas is celebrated hither inwards my abode country, India. The only argue I used to walk amongst Santa Claus all 24-hour interval was that I simply completely loved the cookies in addition to chocolates he used to offering me. Sometimes he recognized me when I came 1 time again in addition to 1 time again to him for to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than sweets, but I was likewise cute to tell no. So basically each in addition to every 24-hour interval I used to make abode amongst the steal sum of toffees, oral cavity sum of already eating toffees in addition to tum sum of plum cakes! Damn! I honey the plum cake hence much!
As Christmas is around the corner, I was simply reflecting on my past times in addition to cherishing those skillful sometime memories. So thought, why non percentage these amongst you lot all. :)
Christmas, the 24-hour interval when Jesus Christ was born holds hence many things for us to acquire in addition to reverberate upon.
Am non going to tell you lot the affect Jesus Christ left on us in addition to his teachings, though at that topographic point could live a squeamish article to write on such a sort in addition to loving soul similar his, but am refraining from writing on that since already at that topographic point is a lot written close that. Today I simply desire to receive got you, amongst me, to go on a real dissimilar route to enlightenment.
It’s simply all my ain views, no judgments here.
I experience that the existent vibe of Christmas is somewhat lost inwards today’s world. Though at that topographic point could live a few who nevertheless celebrate Christmas the means it should be, most people receive got started giving regard to Christmas every bit a 24-hour interval for them to run across friends, savour parties, concord get-togethers in addition to consume peachy food.
Can I simply inquire that what is the divergence left then, betwixt a Dominicus morn in addition to Christmas day?
We create the same things nosotros create on a Dominicus morn that nosotros create on Christmas every bit well. So, what is the betoken of celebrating Christmas in addition to then if nosotros are celebrating it similar this?
The essence of celebrating the nascency of Jesus Christ is simple: Love all.
Love is something that is depleting inwards our lodge the most, to the betoken that it has acquire hence scarce.
This reminds me of Mother Teresa who set this idea hence beautifully when she said:-
There are to a greater extent than people hungry for honey than for food.
This actually breaks my heart. My pump aches when I regard people non beingness sort to that homeless human being sleeping on their street. Why can’t you lot simply plow over him 1 night’s remain at your solid on Christmas? Why can’t you lot live his Santa for the day? If that’s non possible in addition to then at to the lowest degree plow over him some of your food, or invite him to a dinner amongst you.
I experience that at that topographic point is a real sparse trouble of divergence betwixt celebrating Christmas inwards a skillful means in addition to celebrating Christmas to satisfy ourselves. When you lot acquire a pino tree, decorate it, cutting turkey in addition to consume fishes in addition to plum cakes, sip vino amongst friends in addition to household unit of measurement it is called every bit satisfying your ain self. But when you lot receive got some fourth dimension off your busy schedule to pass fourth dimension amongst the needy ones in addition to donating to them in addition to eating that same plum cake amongst them, in addition to then it is called every bit the existent means to celebrate Christmas. I am non maxim you lot to banish your enjoying habits but live aware of the consequences you lot are leaving behind your parties. H5N1 lot of pino trees are cutting every twelvemonth only to live thrown away inwards a few weeks, in addition to that’s non inwards grand or hundreds, millions of trees are cutting in addition to and then thrown away each in addition to every unmarried year! Alarming enough?
Wait! I receive got got to a greater extent than to tell you.
The turkey aeroplane which is cut, roasted in addition to eaten has something to tell you lot earlier you lot consume it. Over to you, Mr. Turkey.
A LETTER FROM MR. TURKEY TO YOU
Dear reader,
A real merry Christmas to you lot in addition to your loved ones!
It is a fashion/custom for you lot to consume me in addition to my friends earlier nosotros fifty-fifty acquire to alive our lives. Can I delight inquire you lot why so? You are hence sort in addition to gentle, yet you lot consume us. Don’t nosotros receive got the correct to live? Your scientists receive got proved fourth dimension in addition to 1 time again that you lot humans receive got the most developed brains, hence delight tell me what business office of your encephalon is it which isn’t allowing you lot to await at our pains which you lot hence easily leverage for your pleasures? Since you lot are much to a greater extent than knowledgeable than us, mightiness live you lot could tell me the answer. And I promise I alive this Christmas to acquire your reply, though that’s highly uncertain.
Let me tell you lot some facts close us beingness slaughtered for your watery mouth.
1. About iii hundred 1000000 of us are killed each twelvemonth inwards the the U.S.A. alone, many for Thanksgiving in addition to Christmas.
2. Baby turkeys are hatched inwards large incubators. And they never fifty-fifty acquire to regard their mothers.
3. After only a few weeks, nosotros are moved to large, windowless sheds which nosotros receive got to percentage amongst thousands of other turkeys all waiting for their plow to live inwards your mouth.
4. At many farms, workers process us real badly. They hitting us amongst long sticks in addition to their legs wound us hence bad.
5. Many of us are bred, drugged, genetically manipulated to grow every bit large every bit possible every bit rapidly every bit possible.
I know it’s a business office of your tradition, but tin sack you lot delight receive got some fourth dimension in addition to dwell on what nosotros mightiness live going through? Just imagine how would you lot feel if your ain kid is born only to acquire slaughtered someday, that’s the fright nosotros alive amongst each day. Please mean value of us too. I know you lot volition mean value close us, in addition to hopefully, you lot volition non consume me or my beau aeroplane this Christmas in addition to the forthcoming ones too.
Thank you!
Sorry, I can’t tell my name, otherwise, 1 of those butchery workers volition come upwardly in addition to seize me.
Happy Christmas to you lot in addition to your family! May Jesus Christ bless you lot all amongst a joyful, long life.
I promise you lot liked in addition to volition implement what my friend Mr. Turkey wanted to percentage amongst you. Please, halt spending lavishly on your Christmas gifts in addition to celebrations. Don’t transcend for the fabric things to celebrate happiness, transcend for the honey in addition to spread it every bit much every bit you lot tin sack because subsequently all Jesus Christ was born inwards a stable in addition to all he always did inwards his life was loving immensely everyone around him.
Focus on the long-term happiness which you lot cultivate past times edifice bonds amongst others versus short-term happiness that lasts for only close a 24-hour interval or two. If Christ happens to halt past times your solid in addition to sentinel how you lot celebrate it, brand sure as shooting he feels happy to regard the means you lot celebrate it.
The Grinch still lives inwards each of us when nosotros drink, slaughter these innocent beings in addition to halt loving all. The footing already is inwards hence pain, hence why don’t simply launder tears off a stranger/needy, in addition to why non construct clean upwardly our ain internal organisation in addition to run a “junk check” to even out our egos, anxieties, jealousy, in addition to hatred.
Let’s attempt something new. Ready?
Let’s pray this Christmas for all of us, all humans, birds, fishes in addition to every other species out there. Why non abstain from drinking, le the trees alive their life in addition to allow the pitiful turkey aeroplane acquire to alive the whole tenure of 10 years of lifespan. (If you lot desire to transcend vegan, PETA has a particular programme where they volition shipping to you lot a FREE vegan starter kit, Click here to know close it)
I estimate Jesus volition live gleaming amongst vivid smiles when he watches such is the (new) means his birthday beingness celebrated.
Merry Christmas to you lot all from my side every bit well! May Jesus bless all of you lot amongst tons of love, happiness, in addition to spiritual awakening. :)
Until adjacent time…
