And so this is Christmas...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

"And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?"...



This is how starts a John Lennon's song, which is one of my favorite Christmas songs. This short part of the song, in my opinion, defines a very deep thought about the true meaning of Christmas: to share, to love and to give to others.



Unfortunately in this modern world, Christmas has been misunderstood, being in many places and for many people a commercial celebration in which spiritual gifts are replaced by material ones. I think that the tough financial situation have made us to go back into what is really important: to share with your family and friends, to spend time with them, to give them love, to listen to them..........at least, it is my hope that we have gone back, if even a little, to that true Christmas Spirit.

And in this New Year, after a very tough and hard 2009, I pray to God that I can be more giving, and to have the Christmas Spirit throughout the year. I can't explain why, but I've got a feeling this is it; that this is gonna be a good Year....a year in which I will become a better and more giving person, the year I will be able to put my family on track on our life project, the year my wife will get a job; and many people here and in the world will get their jobs..........and the year the World will be better.

Let's all pray for every one's wishes of Hope, Peace and Love.

Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Blessed New Year.
