So Christmas season i just about to be over, which means i have to patiently wait a whole year for my favorite time of the year to arrive again. I always thought Christmas is very whimsical and overly joyous time of year. alot of the things that we seem to associate to chritmas doesn't actually have anything to do with Christmas. Like for example, a Christmas tree, it doesn't actually hold any significance to the birth of Christ, except for maybe pine tree grow abundant in cold countries during this time of year, but other than that..., nothing. Yet somehow everyone from all around the world,no matter where we are from, whether it is a cold country or a blazing hot one like i am, somehow when December rolls over, we see ourselves pulling out the fake store bought Christmas tree and start decorating it with all the beautiful baubles, ribbons, lights and whatever we can fit on the tree. It doesnt matter anymore that there is no historical reasoning to why the Christmas tree is put up every year, we somehow as time passed, made the pine tree a very necessary symbol to Christmas.
i guess that somehow goes for every other celebration. like how did it become mandatory to have a cake be associated with birthdays? But yet somehow for as long as we can remember, every time anyone has a birthday, there will be candles already lit on a cake ready for the birthday person to cut it.
Not knows where this random symbols come about from or even why they are there in the first place. All we know is that some all this things seem necessary to any celebrations!
