Christmas : An essay by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India


So finally Christmas is here. This has been a long and struggling year for all of us. But I would like to keep that corona stuff aside for now. That talk has been monotonous for all of us. Celebrations are low-key this time, but the adrenaline rush for presents is not any less. I wish for two new books for the winter vacation. I have started an early preparation of vanilla and chocolate cookies and am done with the usual decoration of a Christmas tree with lights. Dan Brown books with Robert Langdon mystery and amazing facts about secret societies are all I need for a break from life’s dullness.

 

So I believe in Christmas magic - actually all sorts of magic and trust me it’s one of those things that spark our thoughts for the urge to know and explore more. Some people think that after a certain age, we become more realistic and less imaginative, but what’s life without a few crazy thoughts and miracles huh?

 

I see great scientific discoveries and inventions like that spark of imagination and magic that the great scientists never let go off. Imagination is something I would say leads on to the creation of new. And belief in magic is like that fire which one can use to make things come true. This message was for all those who don’t believe in certain mysteries of the world. Remember that one-day flying was unbelievable but the Wright brothers made it come true because they never let go of the belief in imagination and magic. If you believe, then it will come true. Merry Christmas to all! Let the magic in the air flow and ignite us all.

 

In the surreal winter chill,

Getting warmed up by the fire,

Excited eyes glued to window,

Wait for the moon to rise,

And long to see the Santa ride,

In the magical Christmas skies.
