What about Christmas?

On december 25 people in all countries celebrate Christmas and people lives the stress of buy presents for family and friends, but, what is the real meaning of this day?.

The true is that Christmas is a catholic celebration, because this is the birthdate of Jesus, son of Mary and Joseph and well, we know the rest of that story. So, what is the relation with buy things for our dearest people?. We can find the answer if we remember The Three Kings from the East that arrived when they knew that Jesus was going to born. Their names were Melchior, Caspar and Balthasar, and they gave him gold, frankincense and myrrh, trying to say thanks because the thought that Jesus will save them and all the people in the world. So, by this date, we do the same thing that the Three Kings from the East, with the only difference that it’s true that we commemorate the birth of Jesus, but our presents aren’t for Jesus, they are for our family, friends, or the people that the choose for that. The problem is that people turns crazy the days before Christmas, buying everything in stores and, turning this day in a merchandising day.

Now that we know how Christmas works in our globalized society, it’s our  responsibility choose a side or at least have an opinion about this topic, I mean, do we really remember  Jesus in Christmas? Or we are just worried about the dinner and our presents?  In my opinion, I think that it’s true that sometimes we forget the birth of Jesus, but also, in my opinion, we could do the same thing that Mary and Joseph that night, wait with our family reunited zero hours from December 25 and use this meeting to talk about us and our life family. So, Christmas is the perfect day, for me, to live a beautiful night with the people that we love and we can express that feeling with a present.

MY 27F

To talk about my "27F", I need to explain some little things that happens on the "26F". I know that for much people the day before it's not important, but for me, it really is. Well, I remember that my mum was ill and we had to go to the doctor and she was very tired and feeling bad. So, we go to bed late, in fact, it was early morning of 27 of february, about 2:30 AM. Then, I turned on my television, so I stay awake until 3:00 AM or later. So I sleep something about 15 o 20 minutes and the earth began to move and I think: "It will stop", and I turn around I tried to sleep again, but it never stop. Then I think: "It will stop", and I turn around I tried to sleep again, but it never stopped and it was growing stronger. While, my television fell on the floor, as my thing on the closet and everything and I was thinking "This is not true, there's a earthquake here and I slept 20 minutes!!". So, when it stopped, my mum was in the door and she said to me: "Well, that's a earthquake, did you realize? jaja". That was all, we went downstairs and hug each other with mum and my grandma and we started to clean all the mess that the earthquake left in my home.
