Christmas

First and for all it's not Xmas, it's to be called christmas.

I was having insomnia lately, so I turned on my mp3 to listen some music. I just can't fall asleep don't ask me for the reasons, I really do not know.As usual I'll tune around those chinese fm channels to listen. Then Ai Fm formally known as "Di Wu Tai", the DJ was speaking about the true meaning of christmas.

Somehow what he said caught my attention. I've got a feeling that he's a christian. We all know that we're not allowed to speak on religious stuffs openly. But somehow this DJ did, he spoke out things that truely touched my heart. How many out there really know the true meaning of christmas?

He said
Christmas had been too commercialze all these while. Santa created just to get children's attention, fireworks to be seen everywhere during this festive season. He saw a documentary featuring those CHILD labour at China working in the firework factory, pouring those gunpower while their own body was also covered by all these highly dangerous gunpowders in the process of making fireworks. Imagine, those child would be ashes if there were to be a fire caught in the factory.

Then he added also, partying all night long at clubs, having some drinking party, dancing and being drunk until the next morning, we don't really find any meaning in those things when we wake up the next morning don't we? Most probably, getting a bad headache afterall. Instead of using those money on clubbing, why not give the money to those child labour who's working in dangerous conditions just to earn money for their food? They're making a source of entertaiment to us by risking their life.

The true meaning of christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The day where the saviour and the Light of the World was born. Not about santa clause, snowing, presents and partying. Santa was created but Christ is for real, snowing was just due to the way our earth works, presents was a custom and party is just for fun. Now do you know?
