Christmas Joys

Ask around what is their favorite month and most would probably answer December. Keep asking what their reasons are and most again would probably answer Christmas holidays. It is without a doubt that the Yuletide seasons are very important to anyone who knows the word love and brave enough to act it out. As we can all feel, many things change during Christmas. Physically, our houses, offices, department stores and even trees become extra attractive with decorations and blinking lights. The people around you also change as in they are more relaxed like they are smiling more often and they are not easily angered. There are other reasons too like parties almost always every night, product discounts, gift giving and others.

However, I would hand out that the reason most people probably think of the Christmas season as important is because their family members who normally lives away from their hometown makes the effort of going home to be with the family. Keeping the family intact and spending such a meaningful holiday together is more important than the number of food served during Christmas.

But of course, not everybody are happy during this season. For personal reasons, some have to spend the holidays without company. Ask them how they cope when they cannot go home and they would probably tell you that they play Christmas songs.

With the variety of music that is being played today, there are also many types of Christmas songs that we can hear. Even with just one song, many artists have their own version which provides us more options to choose from. Anyway, not all Christmas songs are happy. Some can make us cry such as the original version of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. It made the audience emotional when it was performed by Judy Garland.

The sad song mentioned above is just one of the lonely Christmas songs. However, if you notice the lyrics, it tells you to have a merry little Christmas and let your problems be out of sight. It goes on saying that Christmas is the time for us to gather with the people who are dear to us and that there will be togetherness through the years if fate allows.

The song may be sad but the sense of Yuletide is still there ending with “have yourself a merry little Christmas now.”
