The message of Christmas celebrated around the world is one of love and hope.

 


As soon as you hear the name of Christmas, you remember the beautiful time and atmosphere of your childhood, by the way, every childhood holiday is beautiful, but the atmosphere and celebration of Christmas is very different.


Winter season, school holidays, village atmosphere, wedding season, arrival of dry fruits and above all shopping for new clothes and things. Those were interesting and memorable days. Childhood in the village was a different kind of fun.


The whole village used to prepare before Christmas, cleaning the streets and houses, decorating the church beautifully, special decorations and food in the houses. Our village used to have a festival from a few days before Christmas until the New Year. Toy shops, swings and special food stalls were set up for children.


The school used to prepare and stage plays for Christmas. A special Christmas party was also organized. Christmas programs and dramas from PTV were eagerly awaited. I always miss this beautiful background in a city like Karachi.


Even today there is a celebration in the village at Christmas but that is no longer the case. Karachi does not have the same adaptability that it used to have in the village. It was a pleasant experience to sit together with a fire in the ring in the bitter cold, talk and eat mung spread. During house cleaning, people used to clean their hearts and attitudes from hatred, evil and jealousy.


There was less emphasis on finances than on their own preparation and on the preparation of deserving people. Modern age and development have blown away our moral values ​​so much that it is hard to believe how quickly we have taken such a downward journey.


Celebrated on December 25 every year, Christmas is the biggest Christian festival. Globally, it has become a commercial and corporate festival, rather it has become a season. Christians in Pakistan call this festival "Jashan Baad al-Masih" or "Big Day".


The religious and spiritual significance of this festival has its place while its social and cultural aspect is also very impressive. This festival is a day of family rejoicing, in which the family comes together. When the people in the country and abroad sit together with the whole family after a year and repeat the new beginning after ending their differences and grudges.


The original glow of Christmas was created by the famous British author Charles Dickens, who established new traditions of celebrating Christmas through his writings, literature, movies and Christmas celebrations in the homes of the wealthy. began to be held. There are many traditions and characters associated with Christmas that came into existence under interesting background. All of them aim to share the joy of Christmas.
