Christmas: A Lesson in Life

Once again, it is the Christmas season, where people are kind, presents are given out, and turkeys are slaughtered in the masses. However Santa Claus doesn't seem to just influence young children, all over North America, adults are donating to charities, driving fundraisers and making new year's resolutions to improve their character. We all know, all this compassion and care ends in January, (especially the resolutions) and everybody goes back to the quiet, easily angered and self centered personality that is the norm. The entire Christmas season is a lie. According to the bible, Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th and Santa, a recurring myth taught to mislead children every year. If there has to be a special season where you are more compassionate, where you clear your conscience with good deeds and kindness, then you must really ask yourself, if you are really so kind and loving, why aren't you like this all year? However, there is also the opposite situation which occurs, Christmas, where the entire family gets off their online lives, and realize how they cannot stand being in such close proximity of each other, happily returning to the screens after the new year. I guess, what I'm trying to say is, don't let Christmas be the reason why you resolve to be a better person, and instead try and improve and be kind whenever you can. Have a great December readers.
