For all the people who want a happy Artikel about Christmas, I'm sorry to let Du down, and maybe I'm a little pessimistic but now I'm getting older this is how I think about Christmas:
Five years Vor (I was nine) I was sitting in my aunts car on Weihnachten Eve, and we were talking about a tv Zeigen in Holland called 'all Du need is love'
I don't know if Du know, oder have the Zeigen in America but the tv Zeigen is about people who get unexpected visits from people that they love,and then, for one night, they can forget all their problems and enjoy Chrismas Eve together. I thought that it was a silly show, they have a great day, but when the great Tag is over, they still have their problems.
My aunt (who was married to my uncle) thought that it was a great Zeigen and she was saying things like 'all Du need is love' and 'I'm so glad that I've found realy love'
A couple months later, my uncle got a new girlfriend and my uncle and aunt got divorced.
I'm thinking about this now, because my uncle is coming, today, for Christmas, to have abendessen with us, but I know that my aunt (and the two children that my uncle and my aunt have) is still sad and that she will have a lousy Christmas.
And that brings me to my problem: how can Du be happy at Weihnachten while Du know that a lot of people are sad. Everyone is happy at Christmas, people say but Du know that that is not true.
A lot of people pretend that they are having fun with Weihnachten and that they are happy. But Du know that after the 'happy days' like Weihnachten and New Jahr they're still unhappy, just like they were during Weihnachten and New Year. No stupid holiday can change that.
Maybe I thought about this way to much, and I know that Du are suppose to enjoy Weihnachten and that Du are suppose to have fun. And I think that I will try to be happy, but, tonight, when I'm sitting at the tabelle during the Weihnachten dinner, while my uncle and his new girlfriend are making jokes,I will think about my aunt and her two kids who will pretend that they have a 'great' Christmas.
P.S: This is my first soapbox article, and my English is not so good, I've tried to make no mistakes in the grammar, but I'm shure that there are lot of mistakes, sorry.
P.P.S: Merry Weihnachten to everyone!
