Bright lights, loud music, giant Rudolphs with their bright red noses, Christmas trees, hot chocolate and much more everywhere.

You could really get nuts from it all!

The same procedure every year, the same marketing techniques, the same music...

Doesn't it get boring at some point?

Obviously not, everyone enjoys it.

Then again, all the hassle and stress for the parents. The decorations, the presents... The list could go on and on!

And yet, in the end, we all come together and enjoy the food, laugh, cry, cuddle, be happy and watch cheesy movies.

And that's all it's about: the people. Not about the presents or the food. No, the happiness of others should be at the forefront of this happy time.

No one should suffer or be afraid. Not only should we think and act this way at Christmas, but I think it's the right time to remind ourselves that there are people and animals out there who need our help.

We are all in this world together and should take care of each other.
