Presents and Happiness


People all over the world look forward to this meaningful celebration. Decorating the house, buying presents, singing Christmas carols and partying are only some of the activities that go on during this time of the year. And what do children and many adults expect most of all?? Presents, of course.

If many people expect presents and seem so happy, why do you think a young singer says, "He who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree."

What do you think she is trying to tell us? Would you be able to give an explanation to this quote? We are looking forward to hearing from you!

    I think that he's trying to say that christmas isn't about presents or decoration, and that person will never really know what the real meaning of Christmas is.

  2. I think, that she wants to tell us that the one who never gives, share or be kind will never have anything in return. I will be able to explain that quote because the only thing you need is to read very carefully and think.

  3. She is trying to tell us that gifts is not the most important in Christmas, the most important in Christmas is to be with your family and share. The quote means that if you are not a good person you will not have something good in Christmas.

    She is trying to tell us that Christmas is not only gifts,parties,music,etc.
    Christmas is when we wait the borning of Jesus in your hearth and for that you have to do good actions.
    That is one of way to find a happiness that will last longer, only in this way you can live a real Christmas.

  5. The singer is trying to tell us that even you have lots of presents under the christmas tree, if you do not have the real meaning of christmas in your heart, you wouldn´t know how it feels... a true happiness.

    This quote is about the real meaning of christmas, which is that Jesus comes to us at this season, specially to be born again. To give us peace and love. To remember the sacrifice to become a man and suffer as a human being, just for us. Just for love.
    If we don´t understand that. how can we be happy at this time of the year?

  6. She is trying to tell us that Christmas isn't a thing that we can touch or see, Christmas is not all about the material gifts. She is telling us that Christmas is about Jesus Christ's Birth, spending time with your family and giving gifts like a hug or a kiss. Therefore, a person who doesn't do that in Christmas is not celebrating it at all.

  7. What she tries to say to us is that to be able to know what is really the Christmas, which is Jesus' birth and the power to share his love between all, we don’t need only gifts but specially to have a time where we could share with whom want , our friends and family.
    For example, if you hope only for gifts, you can never know what really is Christmas, because its more than it is an alone love

  8. The author is trying to tell us that love, affection, solidarity, res allpect and the virtues of a person born in the heart and the feeling of each person.
    The explanation may be that a person without noble feelings, that is invited to a Christmas party could not show the love and good feelings toward others, because it does not comes from the heart.

  12. She is trying to tell us that Christmas is more than presents under a tree. It is most about family and peace in our hearts.

    Christmas must remind us that our Lord sent to us his only son to show us his love and glory. It is not only a date, but a season to become a better person and to worry about those who need help and love.

    It is nice to receive presents from our friends and relatives, but it is more important to share with them a moment of happiness.

  17. I think that it means that if you don't have real Christmas in your heart,real Christmas is to be with your family and enjoy beautiful moments that become memories and store them in your heart,so if you don't find that real Christmas you could not find them on material things.

    She is trying to tell us that until we don´t feel the true love, the friendship and humility, the Christmas don´t exist in our heart.
    The best gift that we can receive is a happy family, united by love of God and share the generosity with every one. In Christmas, our heart is soft with all people but that doesn´t mean they will have a soft heart just for Christmas, our heart has to be soft forever.

  19. I think that the young singer is trying to say that if you don't have that Christmas spirit inside your heart you'll never find it outside, because the real Cnristmas is not about the presents, it's a time in wich people enjoy together with happiness and love.

    I think that this young singer was trying to say that if people just espect presents they will never understand what Christmas is really about: Jesus Christ birth.If they only care about presents, they will never find the real Christmas in those gifts. I think I am able to explain this quote, because I have study a lot about this subject.

  21. The singer wants to tell us with this quote, is that Christmas unfortunately people tend to live as a day to give gifts and therefore only refers to the Christmas tree, when in fact what we have to remember and celebrate is the birth of Jesus.

    I think she's trying to say that if someone thinks only on the presents and nothing else like being kind and caring or having Christmas spirit then they don't really care for Christmas at all. They only care for the gifts they recieve and nothing else, they don't really enjoy Christmas itself.

  36. You have made such wonderful comments that a great number of them were published. If you read them carefully, you will see there are some writing mistakes. However, we decided they were little compared to the nice messages you wrote.
    Hope you keep that Christmas spirit all year round.
