Mountains of my life: Forever Soldier

Christmas is Tiring Too!

Like climbing a mountain, Christmas can really be tiring, what with all the preparations, the overtime work we do in our respective offices, the gift wrappings, the various recreations and other things we do to enjoy the holidays. Then, only to get so exhausted at the end of the long season - your pocket's empty, your body aches, your mind's puzzled of the other things to do. We don't even realize why we celebrate Christmas. Is it only to enjoy? Or are we really enjoying Christmas, all the material things around us, the gifts that last for only a few weeks? Do we celebrate Christmas the way it should be valued? I don't think so. I, for one, only enjoy the drinking, and the outings - these things. Christmas has become tiring, and ... absurd.
