Christmas: Start of a New Life



Today is Christmas, one of the famous days of the Humanity. Its celebration came from centuries across the Western World and also in the Eastern nations where the Christianity has roots.

Christmas has different meanings depending of the culture and behavior of the each community that celebrates this special day:

- In the current times, Christmas is the day of the exchange of fancy gifts and big packages among parents and children and friends.

- It is also the day of delicious foods and the specialty of the region or community. Families and friends enjoy plentiful dishes with meal prepared in a particular way.

- But what is behind of all these gifts and meals? According to the Christian traditions, Christmas is the celebration of the birthday of Jesus.

In short, Christmas is the Start of a New Life. It is a day of contemplation and deep thoughts. It is a day of sweet smiles and some tears.

Always through the tears, we express feelings, emotions, happiness and pain.

Christmas is a birthday that produced crucial changes in the Humanity, and frequently it produces miracles in our lives too.

(By the way, how many times, some members of the family return home after years of disagreements and enmity?)

Okay, we can continue talking about the Christmas’ meanings for hours, but this is not our intention now.

The reason of this RETHINKING is to express our best wishes to our friends and the readers who follow the Blog Comments and the Analysis and Rethinking Pages of WORLD RETHINK!


Merry Christmas!
