Ang kapaskuhan ay panahon ng kasiyahan, kaligayahan, kapayapaan, at pagibig ... Ngunit sa ibang tao, kalungkutan ang dala ng pasko. Maaaring sa kadalihanang wala silang kasama sa bahay, nakaratay sa ospital, nasa trabaho malayo sa pamilya, o sadyang magisa lang at walang pamilya.
Maaaring para sa kanila ang ika-24 ay isang pangkaraniwang gabi... gabi na kailangang matulog ng maaga... gabi na nakadungaw sa bintana at nagmamasid sa kaligayahan ng iba. Animo'y nanghihiram ng ngiti sa mukha ng ibang tao at babalik sa malungkot na katotohanan pagdating ng oras ng Noche Buena.
We must dare to find the Christmas within us, yes. Within our, because that is where this ... Many may say ...
"How?, How? --It is impossible."
Here's what I propose:
Let's Get our best clothes, look in the mirror because it is one of the guests this evening.
Let us now turn to the most beautiful memories of childhood, but let us look in that drawer forgotten the folder that we weave the grandmother, those figurines of the album with sequin, the comic book that was in there ...
Then we invite them to the memory of that friend indelible, the photo that we'll get together, the letter that ever wrote to us, such a gift that made us, the outputs to the dances of the 24 after greeting to the family ... Let us also to the memory of the families that are no longer, those with whom we shared those long Christmas tables.
At finally siguro, imbitahin natin ang "spirit of Christmas", ang diwa ng Pasko na ating ninanais na puno ng pag-ibig at kapayapaan na dinadala ng bawat isa.
Maaaring ang Pasko ay isang ilusyon upang tayo ay maging masaya at kalimutan ang ating mga problema. Masaya ba ang Pasko? Oo naman. Pwede ba nitong alisin ang nararamdaman kong kalungkutan? Maaari. Does my sadness take away any of its specialness? No. It just makes it more poignant.
For this reason ang Pasko para sa mga nalulungkot, I suggest you get rid of bad memories, and perhaps if you dare ... just maybe ... write about them...
Happy Holidays!
