it feels time passes much quicker this year ...
I did not grow up with celebrating Christmas in Japan.
my family was never into birthday or Christmas, either.
but it is still our custom that we give & receive gifts
by finding the occasion/s & excuse/es
to express our humble gratitude
for the connection that called "goen"
which is to encounter each other
by fate but in much auspicious expectation
for younger generations, something like Christmas is fashion,
it seems more younger people give attention even to Halloween
just for finding an excuse to have fun ...
Japanese society still expect people to work hard & harder
so we got to find any outlets to have fun.
we smoke & drink
but still are said to be one of the healthy peoples on Earth.
maybe, food is simply healthier in variety
but also we enjoy the time of eating.
French people also eat so much but not many are over weight.
I hear, just because they enjoy meal.
Christmas time ...
it is the time to enjoy our families, friends, parties, meals & gifts ...
as it is not my custom to celebrate Christmas
but I appreciate this globally known day
for Peace & Joy on Earth.
we hear it is Jesus Christ's birthday
but I don't even know if that is true.
( link : when exactly was Jesus born ? )
I have deep gratitude & respect to what Jesus Christ had offered
and I am not even a religious person
but I enjoy this time of Christmas
that "push me" to take a moment
to think of friends & families.
everyday through a year,
just so much to take care of & deal with ...
and just forget what a gift my life has been
but rushing & hurrying & catching up with what I feel behind from ...
and then days like holidays
remind me to pause & take deep breath ...
so although I do not have any significant meaning on Christmas,
I enjoy this time of a year
that some people who I don't see often even just show up
at a door to share their joy with us ...
wishing everyday will be like Christmas ...
to simply enjoy joy on Earth.
also wishing you all the wonderful beautiful time
with contentment of how this year has added growth & enrichment
into your lives & your loved ones'
Happy Christmas to you all !
