Five years cách đây (I was nine) I was sitting in my aunts car on giáng sinh Eve, and we were talking about a tv hiển thị in Holland called 'all bạn need is love'
I don't know if bạn know, hoặc have the hiển thị in America but the tv hiển thị 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 ngày is over, they still have their problems.
My aunt (who was married to my uncle) thought that it was a great hiển thị and she was saying things like 'all bạn 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 bữa tối, bữa ăn tối 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 bạn be happy at giáng sinh while bạn know that a lot of people are sad. Everyone is happy at Christmas, people say but bạn know that that is not true.
A lot of people pretend that they are having fun with giáng sinh and that they are happy. But bạn know that after the 'happy days' like giáng sinh and New năm they're still unhappy, just like they were during giáng sinh and New Year. No stupid holiday can change that.
Maybe I thought about this way to much, and I know that bạn are suppose to enjoy giáng sinh and that bạn are suppose to have fun. And I think that I will try to be happy, but, tonight, when I'm sitting at the bàn during the giáng sinh 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 giáng sinh to everyone!
