Five years 以前 (I was nine) I was sitting in my aunts car on 圣诞节 Eve, and we were talking about a tv 显示 in Holland called 'all 你 need is love'
I don't know if 你 know, 或者 have the 显示 in America but the tv 显示 is about people who get unexpected visits from people that they love,and then, for one night, they can forget all their problems and enjoy Chrismas Eve together. I thought that it was a silly show, they have a great day, but when the great 日 is over, they still have their problems.
My aunt (who was married to my uncle) thought that it was a great 显示 and she was saying things like 'all 你 need is love' and 'I'm so glad that I've found realy love'
A couple months later, my uncle got a new girlfriend and my uncle and aunt got divorced.
I'm thinking about this now, because my uncle is coming, today, for Christmas, to have 晚餐 with us, but I know that my aunt (and the two children that my uncle and my aunt have) is still sad and that she will have a lousy Christmas.
And that brings me to my problem: how can 你 be happy at 圣诞节 while 你 know that a lot of people are sad. Everyone is happy at Christmas, people say but 你 know that that is not true.
A lot of people pretend that they are having fun with 圣诞节 and that they are happy. But 你 know that after the 'happy days' like 圣诞节 and New 年 they're still unhappy, just like they were during 圣诞节 and New Year. No stupid holiday can change that.
Maybe I thought about this way to much, and I know that 你 are suppose to enjoy 圣诞节 and that 你 are suppose to have fun. And I think that I will try to be happy, but, tonight, when I'm sitting at the 表 during the 圣诞节 dinner, while my uncle and his new girlfriend are making jokes,I will think about my aunt and her two kids who will pretend that they have a 'great' Christmas.
P.S: This is my first soapbox article, and my English is not so good, I've tried to make no mistakes in the grammar, but I'm shure that there are lot of mistakes, sorry.
P.P.S: Merry 圣诞节 to everyone!
