Well. . .
Another year passed by.
As many anticipates the arrival of Santa Claus (<– Invented by CocaCola in the 1940’s) little children snuggle warmly on their little pillows, hoping to see or hear, just the slightest movement, the slightest sound.
Many will be disappointed.
For some kids, all they will get for Christmas is. . . Hunger.
That will be his or her only gift.
And you. Mabye you’re the kid that pouts when you receive wool socks instead of that 60 GB iPod video, PS3, Nintendo Wii, inscribed neatly on your Christmas list. Mabye not.
But if you are.
Consider this:
When you are living under a roof, having 3 meals per day, being able to have internet and a computer. While you are browsing this site, thousands, if not millions of children are starving in the streets. Many of them will perish.
But you. You are pouting, for no apparent reason, whatsoever.
“Be happy with what you have.”
“You don’t need anything. You want it.”
“Look outside, and observe your surroundings, it may not always be pretty.”
So this Christmas. Please. Accept what you received.
It’s not the price of the object(s) received that matters.
It’s not the quality of the object(s) received that matters.
It’s the fact that the person who gave you the present, did it from the bottom of his heart.
Appreciate that.

This blog has nothing to do with an MMORPG in any matter/way.
But Mipsacri seems to be missing. ;-]
Don worry I don’t really want anything for Christmas. Me and my family gave my dad like 200 dollars for christmas. -.- We donated to red cross, salvation army, school, and lots of other things. And yeah I guess nice blog? -.-
If the world was put into a village of 100 people 56 wouldn’t have eletricity, 34 would be dying, one would have AIDS, 60 would be Asian, 12 white, 20 black, 8 hispanic.
Yes this is all real.
So true, so true.
And kids are complaining about not having NX cash. . .
I have cash!
*shows monopoly money*
1000 bucks!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
*burns*
OW.
Well, true. There are people out there are too poor to even feed themselves. Worse, is having to face floods, tsunamis, earthquakes and more. It will be more than a gift to survive all that.
I don’t buy anything for Christmas. Best to save for your future, in times of need.
Still there’s always something better than computer games, Playstation, X Box and other solid stuff. That’s love and compassion for others.
That’s kinda what Christmas is in fact, right?

Great blog.
Christmas is not just about candysticks and presents.
Christmas is about sharing our hearts with others. . .
true true. I asked for noting for christmas and recieved noting. I’m happy.
Thats one kind-hearted boy! (I hope you’re not lieing of course -_-)
I asked for nothing for christmas and received a watch and a couple of books. .
I just told people to just get me ‘whatever‘. Which in their language translated into a Zen MP3 player, some various expensive art supplies, and five starbucks gift cards.
I put in five bucks every time I saw those people ringing the bells outside stores though.
People forget what Christmas is really about.
It’s not about Presents, not about the material things.
It about the Birth of Jesus. Celebrating the birth of God’s Child with your family.
Not for me though, im not Christian. =)
Christmas concept has evolve so much from the origin. But I have not receive a present nor did I gave away any. But the hunger, the deaths around the world is out there. Just that most of us never have to experience them. We should be glad for that.
christmas is a boring day for me, i dnt get anything. the shops are closed and im stuck home ! atleast on other days i have shops to visit o.o
Christmas has always been difficult for me. As a child, I recieved nothing and watched my other siblings recieve expensive things like video games and cell phones. As I grew the more distant I became with my family every year. And every year I see my siblings recieve brand new, just on the market, items and in my lap is a card with 5 dollars or female hygene products. But now since I’m an adult, everyone expects everything from me. And the only people in my life that I worry about are my siblings, and my parents, and my most close and dear friends.
Just this christmas, I spent about 500+ on my little siblings alone, and 100+ more on my parents. And this year shocked me, as it did last two years. After becoming 17, I recieved a gift, even though it was small on me, I accepted it and I cried. This year I recieved a sweater and shoes and a calligraphy set with a painting canvas and I cried. I cried because I’m not used to recieving things on Christmas. I was always use to being hit or yelled at or just left at home while everyone else partied. And this year, I cried. . . and no matter how big my pride is, it was hard to hide it.
And being loved by my parents, after 17 years of being ignored, having a deep painful feeling of unwantedness from my family, and always put last for my younger siblings felt really good and warm. It didn’t matter to me the gift was, but recieving it always mattered to me.
