"Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on"
Does Santa Claus exist?
"Santa Claus is believed to be visiting each and every house in the world distributing gifts to bring joy to the minds during the Christmas season. Obviously, the concept of the Santa Claus has such a very interesting legend behind.
However, according to the belief Santa Claus’s office is located at Lapland, a rustic place on the Arctic Circle far away in the Northern part of Finland. Lapland of Santa Claus is such a beautiful place on earth that is to be visited at least once during a life time. Many travel and tourism companies in Finland currently offer travel and sightseeing packages for the tourists around the world to visit Santa Claus at Lapland especially during the Christmas Season.
In Lapland, an amusement park is functioning near Rovaniemi by the name Santa Claus Village in Finland. There is an office of Santa Claus at this place and which is where you would meet the Santa Claus during your stay at this beautiful and legendary place.
At his office, you also will come to visit Santa’s workshop at Lapland.

So this is christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And new one just begun
And so this is christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The older and the young
A very merry christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is christmas (war is over...)
For weak and for strong (...if you want it)
The rich and the poor one
The world is so wrong
And so happy christmas
For black and for white
For the yellow and red one
Let's stop all the fight

It´s Xmas!
Nowadays Christmas isn´t about family reunion and the birth of Jesus.
It´s all about shopping, presents and lot and lot of food. It´s all about consumerism. At that time shoppings are cramped. So how can we talk about crisis? Society has lost the genuine Christmas' spirit, people just think about buing new things, consuming, consuming and consuming. Well, family reunion is a beautiful thing, yes, it is, but we think that society doesn't think like that, it thinks: more people at my house at Christmas time, more gifts.
We don't say: stop Christmas. We just say: celebrate Christmas with conscience that isn't necessary use and abuse of money to buy things that people probably will never use.
And food! A lot of food is wasted, just wasted! People could give it to poor people but no, they prefer to waste it. And isn't Christmas time about charity? Well, it should be the entire year but just in Christmas people think about it but they don't do nothing, just wait for the others to do it.
Environment is a victim of this Christmas fever too. To wrap the gifts is used a lot of wrapping paper that could be replaced by a beautiful ribbon or a lace. If everybody use this technique so much paper would not be wasted and the environment would be spared the vagaries of the people who celebrate the Christmas just because of the gifts. But unnecessary use of paper isn't the only crime against the environment. Every year trees are curt down to be used as a Christmas tree. People could buy a plastic tree that could be used for several years and it isn't necessary cut down trees to use for just a month.
