Christmas day is over but Christmas holiday goes on until New Year's day.
We have white Christmas in the north hemisphere, but they have summer Christmas in the south hemisphere. It doesn't matter whether it's summer or winter, Santa Clause travels all around the world. It's a big holiday event in the end of the year across the borders, countries, races, cultures and religions,too.
It's time for conclusion of this year and preparation for the next year.
I'm making to do list in this year end and counting the rest of the time day by day.
[my favorite quotes of Christmas]
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace. ~Agnes M. Pahro
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
from "Happy Christmas(War is Over)" by John Lennon & Yoko,1971
There was no special occasions in our home for Christmas Day.
返信削除Because elder grandson birthday is before 3 days on Christmas Day, we eaten cake at that time and Christmas Day dinner of my home was a pure Japanese hand rolled sushi.
In addition, on the day of Christmas Eve Day, all my family went to Shrine Hie and received year‐end purification ceremony of Japanese style.
However, in the nursery of the younger grandson there is a Christmas party that targets grandparents on December 19, we joined and had a candle service while singing "Silent night".
Also, grandchildren were delighted to get a present from Santa Claus (actually their parents) in the morning of Christmas Day.
I do not have a special Christmas holiday because after retirement I became so "Every day is sunday".
But I received happiness to spend calm and peaceful but mediocre with my family every day from Santa Claus .
Sorry for the long comment.
You are so welcome to feed back to me.
削除I think your peaceful and happy life is based on your effort you had consistently had.
You are really blessed by yourself and enlighten your family. It's important to make effort for our eternal peace!
"Happy Christmas"
返信削除This is one my favorite Christmas song.
The song looks like simple,but it has deep message.
Before Christmas was enjoyment for me.
Now not only have fun but also I will be better to think for peace in Christmas.
The weak or strong, rich or poor, black, white, yellow and red ones should share the merry Christmas and happy new year together.
