Hello all of my lovely readers and fans! I know you all might be bit angry or upset with me for the irregularity on blog, for now, I can only say “I am really sorry”. I was and I am perfectly fine and healthy but some people were in real need of my help for taking care of their loved ones. Hope you all understand that I am not just writing on blog about helping others untill you start feeling loss on your side but I actually do it in my real life, which made me irregular to post on blog.
I hope you all have forgiven me and I am very thankful to you all for the same. Thank you so much!
It’s Christmas time! YAY!! YAY!! For the first time on my blog I am feeling like, what will I write because whole world knows everything about Christmas and Jesus and Mother Mary. Still, I will try to write something, it may not be new stuff but will be fun, I hope.
Christmas is very well known festival celebrated on 25 December throughout the world. The day is said to be the Birthday of Jesus Christ. Different names in different cultures and languages, Jesus, Son of God, Isa, Messiah, healer, a sage, Isu, etc. One who came to earth to take the responsibility of every sin done on earth by human beings and make the earth innocent and pure again. He was crucified at the end and you all might be know, why?
Crucifixion (The act of executing by a method widespread in the ancient world; the victim’s hands and feet are bound or nailed to a cross) might be the worst punishment one can give to siner. And our beloved Christ took responsibility of every sin happened on the earth and according to the accounts of good and bad, untill the person goes through punishement, his/her sin is not balanced. This should be the reason of crucifixion. We might not know the fact but this is what I can figure out. We all should be so much thankful with respect for such a great soul who did this to save humanity and humans on earth. We all love you forever “FATHER”.
Like we always try to see specialties of in terms of food, decorations, dance, etc. There is something unique and good to know about Christmas and that is ‘colors’ used in this festival. Red and Green are traditional colors of Chirstmas. Gold, Silver and White are also used often. Red symbolizes ‘Blood of Jesus’ and Green indicates ‘Eternal Life’. Green tree of Christmas, which never lost its leaves in winter. Other traditional decoration item includes bells, candles, candy canes, stockings, wreaths and angels. Candles on windows shows that Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the light of love, mercy and wisdom for the whole world.
Christmas Eve reminds us of one favorite person especially to kids is our beloved ‘Santa Claus’. People also call him just ‘Santa’ with love and joy. It is believed that he lives in North Pole. Heavy body, wearing red coad with white fur collar and cuffs, black leather belt & boots, white long beard (some believe that he wears spectacles). He fulfills one special wish of kids around the world. There are varied procedures to receive gifts from Santa at different places. Stereotypes about his entry is : Santa rides on a sleigh with 8 reindeers that lands on the building roof, entering through the chimney and having a bag full of gifts. Many of you might not be aware about his reindeers’ name. Eight reindeer of Santa are known as : Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder and Blixem.
Now we are heading towards the favorite part of festival… any guesses…!!?? Yes, traditional food for festival. Cake and candy are well known for christmas celebration.
