Christmas

The month is December and its the end of  2015. There is general excitement and joy all around. I would attribute it to the annual festival of Christmas , the annual concert or funfair in all schools with the much awaited Christmas holidays and finally the big New Year celebrations.

Christmas as we know is the birth of Jesus Christ. Look at the picture below:

When we talk of Christmas what do we think of ?

Joy and happiness and peace to the world.

Santa Claus :- Yes he is the most favourite figure of Christmas  .Dressed in red with black boots and a white beard carrying a bag full of toys and goodies. He is believed to come from the north pole in his sledge pulled by reindeer. His favourite one being Rudolph. Santa is kind and showers kids with gifts. He symbolizes generosity and kindness.

Be Grateful

Morning is God’s way of saying one more time :-

Go make a difference, touch a heart, encourage a mind, inspire a soul and enjoy the day.

When is the last time you saw the sun rise.? Every thing looks so beautiful and quiet. The world look different.

Somethings for you to make a part of your daily life:

The moment you put your leg down on the ground be thankful and full of gratitude for a new day.

Try and make a difference to some one –

Help an elderly person (or anyone you feel needs help ) cross the road, maybe carry their bag if it looks heavy.

While travelling you can offer your seat in the bus or let someone take the auto ricksaw  which you have stopped.

Share your notes with someone who has missed a class -even if you are in a hurry.

Brighten someones day with a smile.

You can do just anything to make a difference and touch someones heart.

Most of all remember to enjoy every moment of your life. When one door closes another opens -you have to be ready to see it open.

Have a wonderful day.
