Merry Christmas! Have a lovely time!

Hi,

today, we have the Christmas Eve, a day that was chosen by Emperor Constantine, because Christmas was celebrated on the 25h of December, according to Chronograph of 354, and mostly to combat the celebration of Sol Invictus, which was also celebrated on the 25th.

The day changed a lot in the past, but it kept one important thing. Celebrating with the family. As in the Northern Hemisphere, the morale is quite low during winter, due to lack of sun, this celebration lifts the spirit, gives hope and ties the relationships.

When I was little, this celebration was almost forbidden by communist, as they hate every belief system. I remember, when getting a smuggled banana, an orange, and a pair of socks as a Christmas present. For some, bananas was a yellow thing, that was freely available, for me, bananas were equal to Christmas, as this was the time when I was tasting them.

Time passed, world changed and we now can afford more. With my wife, we decided to give gifts to our kid, that matter for his evolution. This year, after saving for 2 years, we managed to get a piano. I used to play it when I was younger, and we want that our kid learns to play it also. It helps to develop his thoughts and brain. A musical instrument adds a lot in the evolution of a person. Besides school, sports, and literature, music is another brick in the healthy development of a person.

For this, I will close the post for today, and go to spend time with the family. But before closing, here is one of the most famous Christmas Carols, that is coming from beautiful Austria, Silent Night, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr. The original is called Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht and the interpretation of Elvis, is one of the best.

Merry Christmas to you all!
