Christmas Season - Days of Eternal Smiles

            Christmas has always been a season for gifts and parties, and indeed, Jesus has always been the center in this joyful celebration. Giving gifts has always been a tradition since the Magi’s giving of gifts to baby Jesus. In these days, we spend so much time shopping just to buy gifts in the hopes of making our loved ones happy. We sing songs of caroling to our neighbors to share our love for them. Sometimes, we even stress ourselves out in making a list of our friends whom we will give our gifts to. Ironically though, people who have nothing to give back in return of the Christmas gifts given to them end up feeling sad instead of feeling happy. But, will there be a difference at all when we don't give gifts or hold parties? Of course not, and there shouldn’t be. After all, isn’t love the main reason why we have been celebrating Christmas all along? God is Love, and all for love God gave us His greatest gift to mankind – our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

“This year’s Christmas is certainly special; a lonely Christmas would be boring. What illuminates Christmas is those smiles… Look, I'll decorate them for you.” – Aisaka Taiga (from Toradora)

            Christmas is a time when we turn our eyes from material gifts to the simplest yet the most satisfying thing we can ever give - a smile, and that includes spending time with the persons we love. A smile can change the people’s hearts and the world. A smile transcends the happiness shown by a person; it epitomizes joy in trial, hope in desperation and love in a world of loneliness. Hence, it is the right time to make amends with broken friendships and anything that would stop us from being happy. In our popular culture, Santa Claus smiles and says “Hohoho…” before he gives gifts. Most importantly, isn’t it because of our loving God’s great desire for us to smile with Him that He gave His one and only begotten Son to die for our sins, so we may share an joyful, eternal life of smiles with Him?

“Every day is Christmas for me as long as I am with you.” – Baek Seung Jo (Itazura na Kiss)

            Christmas shouldn’t also be limited to just the twenty-fifth day of December or the whole month of December up to the month of January. Actually, in some churches, Christmas is celebrated on the sixth day of January! Moreover, if we would take Biology into account, the time when Jesus was actually conceived would be nine months earlier, around March 25 or 26! Hence, some scholars speculated possible “Christmas days” as May 20, April 18 or 19, March 25, January 2, November 17 or 20! With several possible “Christmas days” scattered throughout the year, wouldn’t it be better to make every single day a Christmas day by spending time with the ones we love? With this, we should really, really share God’s love with a smile everyday, so that others will smile just like how they would smile in the Christmas season. God never missed the chance to make us smile. He has always been our Father and Maker, Redeemer and Restorer, Rebuilder and “Rewarder”. For every single thing we do unto others, we do it unto Him as well; that’s why we always praise and make Him smile whenever we make others smile too. 

“Remember; our wrinkles are increasing one by one. Even if it becomes fun to think about tomorrow, every time our wrinkles increase, I’ll meet a happier you than yesterday.” – from Wrinkle (by Gumi)

             Trials will always come to increase our wrinkles even when “it’s not Christmas” for us, but since every day is a Christmas for all of us, then we will always get to see a happier someone than yesterday through the love and smiles we give to our loved ones. Indeed, it is always our dream that we will always get to see a happier someone than yesterday and make that dream into a reality. Trials are there only for us to magnify the smiles that we give. The smile of an elderly person is the greatest strength he or she exerted throughout the years of his or her lifetime, while the smile of a child is full of hopes and dreams! That’s why, in this Christmas season, we also shouldn’t forget to visit the sick, the old and the children, sing songs for them and extend a helping hand to them, for when they smile, we will have joy and strength that we have not experienced before.

"You don't need a reason to cry...  All you need is feel the warmth that dwells in your chest..." – Natsu (Fairy Tail)

            Moreover, we should not forget to help the victims of the recent super typhoon Yolanda, who have been crying in desperation, who have been finding hope and purpose in their lives. In this season of Christmas, we should share the warmth in our hearts by reaching out to them. In this way, they will no longer have a reason to cry anymore. In this way, we can finally wipe their tears away and make them smile. Above all else, we should not also forget our families who have always been there for us, who have always been loving us unconditionally in times of happiness and in times of sadness. Occasionally, we may have said things that hurt the precious feelings of our parents, our brothers and sisters who may have been crying inside since then; therefore, the least thing that we can do is to rekindle the warmth of love, harmony and communication in our families through the first step of giving a sincere smile from the bottom of our hearts to express our heartfelt love.

            Well, isn’t love the main reason why we have been celebrating Christmas all along?

Blue Rose

Blue rose of wonders, love incarnate,
As blue as the placid sky,
As deep as the waters singing -
You bring forth a melody of promises,
Transcending all of my world -
My heart, my life and my being.


"Choose your love. Love your choice."
These words so soft yet so strong,
Bearing magic so unspeakable,
Emanating waves so euphoric,
Engraved on this embodiment of my love,
And oh... All I can think of is you only.


We've traveled through this journey called life -
A symphony of happiness,
An abrupt cadence of flowing tears,
And how long has it been since that day -
When my world was obliterated,
Scarred by none other than you?


In the rain, tears kiss my cheeks -
A vivid facade of raindrops, indeed.
I hide my true feelings for you,
Yet as paradoxical as the blue rose,
I have been longing to see you...
I have been craving for your presence...


Since time immemorial have I declared -
That you can only be mine,
That you alone can have my universe,
For if I lose you, my only song,
Life is but a monotonous voice,
An inanimate flower, eternally asleep.


So, may you be my blue rose,
That I may grasp myself again,
After being lost in the past.
With your life-changing smile,
I can finally return to the real present,
And soar up the skies with you. 

"Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance." - Carl Sandburg

"Keep Holding On"

You're not alone

Together we stand

I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand

When it gets cold

And it feels like the end

There's no place to go

You know I won't give in

No I won't give in

Keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Just stay strong

'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away

I wish you were here

Before it's too late, this could all disappear

Before the doors close

And it comes to an end

With you by my side I will fight and defend

I'll fight and defend

Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Just stay strong

'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe

Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny

Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da

La da da da

La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Just stay strong

'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on

Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

"Still There for Me"

Lately I've been thinking

About the things that we've been through

And I don't know if I'd be here,

If not for you

I had to take a little time

To try to work things out

And you should know that

I have never meant

To let you down

[Chorus]

Cause I, I

Wannna tell you that I'm sorry

And I, I

Even when I'm not giving enough

And I'm taking too much

You're still there for me

Even when I got nothing at all

And I'm ready to fall

You're still there for me

There for me

There for me

Even when I can't be there for you

You're always there for me

Sometimes I know I can be

So hard to understand (It's ok)

Even when I'm lost

You show me who I really am

Life with me hasn't always been an easy ride

But because of you I've learned

To lose my selfish pride

 [Chorus]

Cause I, I

Wannna tell you that I'm sorry

And I, I

Even when I'm not giving enough

And I'm taking too much

You're still there for me

Even when I got nothing at all

And I'm ready to fall

You're still there for me

There for me

There for me

Even when I can't be there for you

Oh you're always there for me yeah

Oh no it's love

Ooooouuhhh (Oooohhh)

It must be love

Ooohhh

It's gotta be real love (It's gotta be real love)

Even when I'm not giving enough

And I'm taking too much

You're still there for me

Even when I got nothing at all

And I'm ready to fall

You're still there for me

There for me

There for me

Even when I can't be there for you (When I can't be there)

Even when I can't be there for you

You're always there for me
