Happy Holidays specially to famished families

I haven’t felt the essence of Christmas these past few days. Days were like ordinary, watching people stroll around the city, malls and parks, waiting for nothing, not even a show of goodness from someone else. The spark had lost in so many reasons. The spirit that had been uplifting me had gone away. Is it because our house lacks of Christmas lights and decors or is it because of me being out-of-the-mood to celebrate such occasion? I would be very sorry for myself if I’d be out-of-the-mood to celebrate this wonderful season.
Millions of people have been waiting every year to celebrate Christmas. For them, celebrating the season means everything for their family because it is not just eating with delicious and mouthwatering foods set in the table but it is for the family to gather once more. It is also the time to give and the time to show to other people the pure goodness that had been hiding deep inside their hearts, to show appreciation and love to whom they had never given it.
Though Christmas tells everything for Filipinos, there are still people who are weary, doubtful, or even worse, never have any reasons to celebrate it. Why? Poverty tells everything. Deficiency never ends, it struck more to people who have nothing but a bunch of undressed children or famished brothers and sisters. How many families who’ll celebrate their Christmas without anything set in the table? How many children loiter around the streets asking for foods during Christmas Eve? Whenever I go inside Cotta or around the place, children come and approach me to ask for a single coin in my pocket. I give them heartedly whenever I bring some. But most of the times children ask for foods that I am eating other than a single coin that can buy them enough for themselves. It struck my heart honestly. It gives me a dilemma that I can hardly recover. My heart belongs to them. My mind can’t stop thinking about their unfortunate situation. If only I can do something other than giving them 1peso, I should have done it. They don’t deserve to have a spoiled Christmas! Everyone deserves something for them to celebrate their own Christmas. Why is the earth so unfair?
We are so much lucky to celebrate Christmas with enough foods in the table. So happy to celebrate it with our family complete. Though I came from wrecked and broken parents and adapted by my aunt, I can’t ask for more…because other people don’t have anything yet they are happy, others don’t have some yet they are contented.
I learned a lesson through them. That is to have a stable job or better yet, work hard to achieve the path where a good, fertile future lies.
