Worst than ever

Christmas is one of the most awaited event to come wherein, all people celebrates. It is about love, peace, giving and sharing your blessings with one another because it’s the birthday of our beloved father Jesus Christ.

In some ways it is the chance of other people to forgive and forget those people who have sin with them for the whole year. I guess they do that in order for them to move on peacefully with the incoming year with no regrets and hard feelings for others.

During Christmas, people love to wrap especial gifts for those whom they think did something good to them in a whole year. But some of them wrapped gifts for Christmas party wherein students mostly in preparatory, primary and secondary school and even colleges, Offices, and Companies celebrated.

I remember when I was in grade 5, we have our Christmas party and we are remind to give something useful so that it can be remembered by the person who received our gift and it is surely be use by the person. I wrapped a pink blouse that time while the gift I have received I think is my worst gift I ever encounter which I don’t want to remember anymore. Why? Because it is a 5 pieces stapled paper doll that can be bought in any store. I consider it worst because I don’t play paper doll, I’m not fan of it or the type of person who is fond with paper dolls. And I don’t love that toy either. For me, it can easily destroy after 3- 4 times you played it. I was really disappointed and surprised when I opened my gift and saw what’s inside of the wrapper. I was crying and really angry on the person who wrapped that gift for me.

 Although some of my classmates received picture frame and photo album still my gift is the worst one. I was really still envy for those who received beautiful, worth it and useful gift compared to what I have received. I was really mad on the person whom gave me such paper doll gift. Hahaha.. I even want to take the gift I have exchange in return that time to get my own gift, which is sad to say it’s a disaster one, because for me my gift is more useful than what I have received. I talked to my teacher (Ms. Aguilar) crying for help because I hate the paper doll gift and I’m not happy for having it, but then she advised me (my teacher) to be patient and be thankful for what I had received although it’s a paper doll in a way it’s cute and beautiful.

The worst gift I gave to a person, well I don’t think there is a specific worst gift. Although I’m not that old and mature enough to decide during my primary school year my mom make sure that she will wrapped a beautiful gift for my exchange gift with my classmates. My mom is thoughtful and she always makes sure that the person who will receive the gift will be happy and satisfied for having it.

Christmas is not about what you give and what you receive in return. We must still consider that small things matter. According to the saying.. “It’s the thought that counts”. We should still be thankful that a single person remembered us and give a try to add additional happiness to us. That is the true meaning and spirit of Christmas, giving and sharing all the blessings we have with one another.
