Christmas came and went and I didn't even get a Christmas tree :(
The bad thing for me is that I've lived for so long in Ireland that I like celebrating all occasions and festivals .. irrespective of my beliefs and religion . So when I ask my friend as a joke where my Christmas present is guess what I get ???? Yeah you got the right " what are you like a christian now !! We don't do Christmas gifts."
I mean wow !! I wonder how we turned from tolerant and friendly HUMANS to discriminating LOBBIES !!!????
Christmas ..whatever the reason and history behind it why shouldn't we celebrate it . Cant we just be happy because we need 'excuses' nowadays to be happy ???Its a part of holiday season .So I don't see why I should be frowned upon just because I take an interest in different festivals and commemorations that don't belong to my own religion . Its so unfair .Its actually our double standards , because we are ready to go to awesome sales right during Christmas and yet we don't even have tolerance towards it . Not just Christmas... any occasion . We don't have to follow something religiously or spiritually to just celebrate it . Isn't the reason of a festival just to be happy ?? We don't have to feel happy and celebrate for someones recognition and praise ..its for our own self .
That's what festivals should do ... so please if your one of those people who think that its 'cool' to laugh on the people who are more welcoming and accepting towards other cultures than you are ...well then go to hell .. or probably you will 'cause of your approach and thinking that's smaller than a pea .
And for the ones who enjoy Christmas and other happy occasions .... keep on having fun .. buying things for the occasion .... or just being happy because of it . Don't let others bring you down . The people are gonna stay for a long while annoying you at one thing or another .... but who knows whether you'll live to celebrate another occasion .
Cheerio:)
