The beauty of Christmas. 11-12-2021 Saturday 8:00 am #70 Lead image source https://unsplash.com/photos/RpWCPDxMcSo Out of all the festivals we have around the world, Christmas is the one I love the most. Ever since I was a child, I've always loved Christmas. Everything about the season is enough for one to love it. As a child, I usually see the way our house looks during Christmas. My siblings would make decorations to make the house and everywhere look colorful and fascinating. They did this for years, till they grew up and found nothing special in the decorations again. I could remember vividly that year, we had just a few days to Christmas and my siblings hadn't decorated the house. I asked them why, they said what's the essence of the decorations. I disagreed with them and decided to make the decorations myself since I was no longer a child. I brought out the Christmas tree, ornaments, Christmas lights, and Christmas cards from the store. I decorated the house in a way my siblings have never done before.

Everyone that saw the decorations commended me for making a nice decoration. Since then, I've been the one making the Christmas decorations, because my decorations are top-notch. There was a year my Aunt came and saw the beauty of our house. My parents told her of how good I am at making decorations. She had to call me to help her do the decorations in her house. Why am I saying this? I just want you to know the secret behind my beautiful decorations is the Christmas season. I'm always happy Whenever we're close to Christmas. I don't know how the Christmas special feelings leave people. But as for me, the joy is always there.

Santa's cloth is made with Red and white, The combination of the two colors (Red and Green) makes the season perfect. All over the world, the Christmas season is always colorful. Right from December 1st, I've been seeing the decorations in schools, malls, and other public places. Even the colors alone, without Christmas songs and others, will tell you that Christmas is coming.

**The Christmas lights** Christmas lights are always attractive. They make the beauty of a place show. Though the lights are being used even in non-Christmas periods and it beautifies the place. But during Christmas, it is always rampant, which makes it special. The beauty shows in the afternoon, but at night the beauty Glows more. Every mall, house, companies will be shining bright with Christmas light. **The wonderful songs 🎶🌲** Another beautiful thing about Christmas is the wonderful songs. Hark the heralds, Silent nights, Jingle bells. Christmas songs are the most melodious. The rhythm and instruments with the lyrics of the songs are always spectacular. During Christmas, we would always hear the Jingle bell sounds being played in every part of the street. In churches, in malls and shops, even in houses The songs aren't just ordinary songs, they are songs that will fill your heart. If you have something bothering you in your mind, the songs will wipe it away. **The knockouts and fireworks 🎆🎇** I wasted a lot of money on fire trackers. Back then we would gather at night to fire knockouts. Buy bangers and knockouts with our pocket money. Though the police were against us using bangers, still we fire them every year. My parents tried to stop me from firing knockouts. Then I improvised and make one myself. I made my own knockout with the head of a spark plug, matches, and nails. So far it sounded like bangers, then I'm satisfied. I stopped wasting money on knockouts a long time ago. We've left that for the new generation. Even I no longer see children lighting knockouts. Probably because we their brothers/sisters aren't engaging in it again or because of the police. **How this year's Christmas will be** So this year I would be making the decorations too as usual. If not for that I'm in school, I would have done it already. Next week, I'll be home to make this year's Christmas colorful. May God keep us alive till then. Like I always say, my birthday is on the 22nd and Christmas is 25th. So I take Christmases as a celebration of Christ and also a celebration of my birth. Here is my entry in@gertu13 's Christmas contest. I should have written on this since, but I was busy in school. Christmas is a season of love. Let us show love to our neighbors and friends. May God bless us as we do so. Merry Christmas and Happy new year in advance 🎄⛄ Thanks for reading ❤️🙏
