What Christmas Means To Me

Yay, we made it in one piece! By God’s grace every one of us will celebrate Christmas in a few days.

Christmas can be crazy and chaotic, but it is also a beautiful and meaningful time of the year. Personally, my favourite part of this period is the part where I finally get a long break from work, eat as much as I want (calories can and should wait) and I also love the time together with family and friends. When I think of Christmas I only think of good times because Christmas is supposed to be time for loving one another, giving and generally having a nice time together.

The countdown started mid-year around June and Christmas lights long wet up in many establishments while Christmas parties are underway all round.

I like the concept, it reads, ‘fearless and daring’ and of course survivors! To me, Christmas means a time of merriment and of all things salty and bubbly. Even Coca-Cola and Sprite are bubbly. It is a time associated with the birth of Christ and although there is still no proof of his actual birth day, we celebrate it on December 25 nevertheless. As a child, Christmas was the most exhilarating time for me.
