It was amazing how an interval of at least half an hour has left me standing there at one point gazing into all the beautifully made Christmas decorations. It was unique. Something extraordinary that has really gotten me into deep inspection of the materials they've used. I was deeply astonished by the people's creativity and innovation. Their ideas were something I cannot think of that when combined or be put into one figure will result to a brilliant classy decoration. Hands down to everyone who made those.
It wasn't just the lights that astounded me. It was also the group of people around me. Families. There I said it. If anyone who doesn't know what real Christmas is, then let me tell you just a brief information in my own kind of way.
I was standing, aware of my surrounding. I was able to take notice to every move my eye vision could see. Happy families walking altogether lurking the place uttering their best "wow " to every light they see. Kids pulling their mums to take them a picture together with Olaf the snowman. That was really cute. Grandfathers and grandmothers that are still able to manage to stroll have also enjoyed. Fathers carrying their child up on their chests.What I've cited were proofs that Christmas does not only equal to presents and parties. Its about appreciation. Sometimes,we make things harder for our selves when actually it only takes simple things to truly realize that we've got what we want for the rest of our lives and that is one happy complete family or if not so, at least we are near enough to our loved ones to say i love you and thank you.
Christmas season could be compared to the idea of the magnet. It just bring all the people back into their loved ones, both positive and negative ( if you don't know what I mean, what I was trying to say about the negative and positive is that, it represents the people.Negative ones are the enemies and positive ones are the friends. What usually happens on Christmas is the resolution of someone's fight over a certain issue so it brings them back together) no matter how far they've become or how far they've been apart.
However, besides the wonderful scene I've seen, there were still some street people who made me feel frustrated. Frustrated in a way that I don't pity them anymore. Frustrated because I think they've got a chance long ago that they've taken for granted and never really made an effort to at least get themselves out of the abyss. I believe in this adage " It was never your fault when you were born poor, but it is your fault when you die poor."
I am not even trying to step into anyone's life when I don't know what their real story is. I am just stating my personal opinion and that is no biggie.
As for about the fireworks competition, it took just half an hour and it was a total cliffhanger. I've seen fireworks competition before and to be honest, I'm starting to get used to seeing it and I get the same feeling as eating the same meal for breakfast,lunch and dinner. However, at that moment where I have let myself float in the air, I've realized to be more like the fireworks. No matter wherever or whatever everybody's doing they'll stop and look at my colors explode in the sky regardless whatever the weather is. People would look at me as if they've seen the missing part of them, someone to look up to become inspiration that no matter how dark the sky will be, there will always be someone who can rescue them and ready to make them feel better even for just a couple of minutes. To make others happy with my success. To become a blessing.
I remembered during my high school days, our values teacher taught us to become a blessing to others. A blessing does not only come in material but also in persona. One's self can be a blessing to anyone in the world just by doing simple good deeds that could make anyone's life better ,easier. And that even just for a minute you have passed into one's life, he/she would always remember you as a blessing.
To my dear reader, I wish you a Merry Christmas! I hope you spend total leisure time with your family and closest friends and don't forget to be a blessing to others not only this season but also for the rest of your life. x
