Christmas JOYS

Moving towards Christmas ..I can feel the winter chills and temperature dropping.. the screeching of cars and late night shopping...(the stores are open till midnight)..I can hear the best Christmas songs this time of the year.

my hubby took a day off this Monday ..as I am off on Monday's too from work...

so sending kids to school ..having a cup of tea (I guess after a yr) together in the morning ...He said" what do you want for Christmas??"

I smiled.." honey ,remember you brought me a diamond pendent last year..I looked at one of the sale papers ..this ring goes exactly with that...its jus for $500"

he smiled... this is even better he looked at the ring "Ahaa.. jus $20 ..beautiful and would suit on your finger too"

he was pulling my leg... I kept quite...

today morning ..I got a call from him.." whats your ring size?"

lolzzzz

hope its $500 and not $20..

..

every year we exchange gifts with-in our family ..and we open them on 25 th DEC that's the official Christmas morning...its fun and I love to see kids jumping with joy..

Christmas is celebrated all over by friends and relatives,, its time to get together share,enjoy and be merry... marked as official time for party..

...People usually ask me,, do you do Christmas thingy?

..I end up saying ,, whats wrong,,?? it doesn't have to be religious aspect necessarily...jus celebrate and share the joy ..

hope the Christmas brings joys and tranquillity and we are all blessed with this wonderful celebration at the end of the year.

spare a thought!!!

...spare a thought for the poor,suffered and ill treated...
I was really upset to see  an old women sitting homeless and asking for alms,crippled and nobody to look after...its Sad!!
its really sad to see...a mother carrying a small baby having a down syndrome or to see old age homes full of people and nobody who visits them...they sit  in the lobby whole day that somebody will show up one day!
it hurts...what if I am at their place? what will happen..I usually think...
then I am so relieved that I am blessed with good family and healthy kids and good parents..with enough to survive..I should never complain....
.....there is so much suffering in the world,any country you pick..there is an issue which is yet to be resolved,innocents killed..children sold, women in prostitution,drug trafficking ..and misfortunes .....

men and women slaughtered "the Palestinians and the Israelis" ...inhuman act of violence..who cares...we are safe in our little world,those pictures if you see,it gives me goose bumps...
still these people manage to survive in worst of conditions displaying their courage and smile on face..they may be underprivileged but fighters in real life,a cut above rest to show their courage and come up as winners!
they will walk miles to get water, one meal a day,malnutritioned kids...but still manage to survive...

when I open a faucet....I look at the easily availability of water..or switch on the light...jus a click away..no hassles,what If I had to do that hard work....I will die,for sure!.....so much suffering for a single meal?
What great inspiration we can all take from these magnanimous human beings!
spare a thought and try to help other,if not financially ..then emotionally..visit old homes...even though they are not our relatives ,help and be courteous...
we are privileged,we are blessed..thanks to almighty!
spare a thought on this.... my friends!
