Christmas this year

Jollification \jol-ih-fuh-KAY-shuhn\, noun

Merrymaking; festivity; revelry.

Some inform; some prompt the conscience; some entertain, while having more than jollification in mind.

--Stuart Klawans, "A Greek Bearing Gifts," The Nation, June 21, 1999

In July, expect the usual impertinent jollifications in Key West: look-alike and Key-lime-pie-eating contests, arm-wrestling tournaments.

--David Gates, "Resurrecting Papa," Newsweek, April 12, 1999

I didn't know that this word exist. I don't think Christmas is abt jollification. I guess many people take Christmas as this or just the giving of gifts.



This Christmas was different for me. It's not the normal thing that happens every year. Other years I have never really thought about why Jesus actually came. We always just remember that Jesus was born on this day but forget the reason. We must remember the reason.



Christmas this year is indeed different for me. Not totally happy like the previous years. I guess stuff have been bothering me. So much distrust, so much misunderstanding, so much gossip, so much distortion. I just wish one thing this year. But then again, wishes are just wishes.
