    The Christmas of a Lifetime

    "Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who
    need it the most."

    - Ruth Carter Stapleton

    Most of us would have experienced the dilemma of choosing an appropriate gift for
    someone. What would be the best gift that you could ever give to someone? Could it be
    something tangible such as accessories or something more precious such as time, or perhaps,
    love?

    We, the first-year students of the Department of Psychology, decided to celebrate our
    first Christmas at Prajyothi Nikethan, with the children and other residents of Divya Karunya
    Ashram, Kalletumkara. It was a decision that we made as a part of community service and all the
    needed encouragement and support was given to us, by our class teacher, Dr. Jaya A.T.

    On the morning of 14th December 2019, all of us gathered in the Ashram with our class
    teacher. We were given a warm welcome by the director of the Ashram- Mr. K.L. Jacob. He
    briefed us about the Ashram and the residents there. He spoke about the situations of the
    children, who were 50 or so in number, before coming to the Ashram and it opened our eyes to
    see and realize that there are people who need love and security. It was really eye-opening to
    realize that we have been blessed with many provisions and opportunities in life, so that we may
    share them with the others whom, God has placed around us. Later, the children came, we met
    them, and cut the Christmas cake, of which, we had our shares. We also met the elderly living in
    the Ashram.

    Then, we engaged in exciting games during which we got to know and experience the joy
    and happiness of innocence and childhood. Following this, a few children of the Ashram sang
    songs and surprised us with their God-given talents. Then we could no longer contain the
    excitement to give the gifts that we had bought for them and all the children were happy and
    couldn't wait to open their gifts. All of us danced, sang and had fun with the children, and it was
    indeed, the Christmas of a lifetime for all of us. We left the Ashram with a tinge of sadness
    mixed with the joy of having been able to live a day fulfilling, at least in part, the purpose of our
    lives. And our Christmas gifts were the smiles and happiness that our friends from the Ashram
    gave us, wrapped with innocence, which left us joyful as ever.

    Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, who came to give life
    and light by sacrificing his own life. We understand the purpose of our lives only when we do
    the same, by giving some of the precious things that we treasure, to others. It may be our time,
    love, life, or maybe a small act of kindness or even a smile.

    We are here on Earth not just to feel loved but to love, not just to receive but to give. And
    we glow with life only when we burn within.
