‘Jingle
bells, jingle bells
Jingle all
the way…
O what a
fun it is to ride
In a
one-horse open sleigh!’
Yes, these
are the lines that make the faces glow and the smile appears on
the face of everyone, no matter what the age is! We all know
that the Santa is on the way to shower us with the gifts and
enrich our lives with happiness. We may wonder at times about
the capacity of Santa’s bag but that should not be a matter of
concern for us.

The
tradition is a long one with the Magi giving gifts to the baby
Jesus. But, ‘why Christmas gifts and what is the importance of
such gifts?’ is deeply embedded in the history. To be clear, the
Christmas gifts are the face of the spirit of giving & sharing
and in the essence of which lies the expression of love, care
and bondage.
Santa is
just a fictitious medium and is never a truth but, at times the
lies are better than the truths, especially when the lie can
bring you happiness and smile.

| Whether it was primal and old-age Christmas
or whether it is the era of consumerism, the importance of
Christmas gifts will never decrease. This is because of the
feeling of togetherness and the love & the sense of
brotherhood, which are now almost the extinct species on the
earth’s surface.
Santa Claus and his red bag of gifts is a carrier of
relationship that builds when the nature offers its serene
and tranquil snow covered lap to us so that, we can shred
off our pain and anguish and find a new meaning of life.
These
small gifts (may be a cigar or a photo frame or may be a box of
candies) are not of high material value but they have the
glitter of the celestial love that adds a new meaning to our
lives. They give us the vigor to start from the beginning and
will all the lost battles! May be we are destined to win every
battle! |

Christmas
holidays are therefore very meaningful only when they are
accompanied with the gifts from the white bearded Santa (Wish it
was true!). The sweet sound of the bells and the sound of a
horse-driven sleigh is a sweet melody in the middle of this
black and white mechanical world!
