Christmas For Sale


CHRISTMAS FOR SALE
Christmas, Christmas will visit again. Oh no? What can I do this coming Christmas? I have no idea what is Christmas?. Christmas is the time of giving and sacrificing but how? I’m only a future teacher, what is my role? I know my role is to guide, to create a lesson plan, to facilitate and to teach young children, because of Christmas I will change it.

Christmas is an important part of childhood experiences, because there are some happy moments that the child is experiencing. The child has opportunity to enjoy and to experience Christmas day.

As a teacher I will be know on how to explain what is Christmas for a young children. Why we need to celebrate Christmas? Who is Santa Claus and what is the purpose of Christmas in every people?  These are the common question of the young children that we should be know on how to elucidate for young children. The word Christmas is familiar for young children, because they expected that they can receive beautiful gifts from their ‘ninongs and ninangs and they feel excitement.

The role of a teacher is to explain and to guide the young children to know the purpose of Christmas. Christmas is another way of giving special something to your someone who loves you and also for someone who hates you.
  
 If we explained the Christmas concept correctly the child could create a concept about Christmas in a positive way. They can share the love of Christmas so that other people can feel the essence of Christmas.

The essence of Christmas is to spread the love and joy to another people. So that you will feel the good breeze of Christmas and you will smell the fragrance of Christmas.
The Christmas will visit again and I will feel again. From now on I will start the day with enjoyment, excitement, new hope and love again to sell my Christmas to other person.
