I wish you a REAL Christmas

I wish you a merry xmas
I wish you a merry xmas
I wish you a merry xmas
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Hi everyone, this opening was just an irony.
I´m not here to wish you a merry Christmas. I´m here to wish you REAL Christmas, something I haven´t lived before.
How come we´re all so nasty and selfish and arrogant and mean all year long, but now we´re all peaceful and kind, sort of, or for at least 2 hours on the 24th and 1h30 on the 25th of December?
Talk about hypocrisy, hum?
I cannot stand this hypocrisy. I simply CANNOT. I think my last merry merry Christmas was about, let me see... 15 years ago! Yes, because when we´re kids, we always have fun opening presents and spending time with cousins and other relatives. That´s because we have no idea about all crap that happens throughout the year among our parents and relatives, therefore we just see the apples and oranges of this bittersweet cerimony and simply cannot grasp the acrimonious reality of the "spirit of Christmas".
Last thing we think about is JESUS. C´mon, are you gonna be that proud not to confess that?
I do not think about JESUS on Christmas. I just don´t. I just can´t. I´m so busy thinking about what people will think about my new outfit or how much weight I gained and cannot lose back, or that I´m so broke that I cannot afford to buy Christmas gifts to everyone that believe me, last think I consider is the selfless character of our Savior.
So, my dear friends, the one thing I wish you all and wish myself too is this: a REAL Christmas. A Christmas that in 28 years I haven´t been able to understand yet, the birth of our Savior King, who despised all human pleasure and power for love and to announce the only Kingdom of RIGHTOUSNESS that is about to come.
A Christmas that dwells in our hearts, not in our minds. Something I just cannot conceive yet.
