We are only 10 days away from Christmas, a very special day that all of us are impatiently waiting. Not only are we excited about Christmas because of all the amazing decorations that make all cities look stunning, but also for the significance of this day.
A lot of people who come from mid-income families and above have usually enough money to fulfill the wishes of the family members or at least always come up with a gift, no matter how expensive it is, what should be appreciated is the act rather than the gift. Mother Teresa said, ‘Not all of us can do great things. But we can do great things with small love’, and this quote by one of the greatest humanitarians in history takes full meaning during this season. There are a lot of reasons to love Christmas, but the fact that it brings all the greatness and positivity that people have within themselves is absolutely amazing.
The world definitely seems a better place during this day. Let’s carry on with the beautiful Christmas story below. After tens of millions of YouTube views last for their other good deed videos, Canadian airline WestJet has done it again… Last year, WestJet released a Christmas video in which they surprised people flying home for the holidays with their big wish.
This year, the amazing company went above and beyond to give back to a poor community in the Dominican Republic. The people of this small village may believe in Santa Claus, but they’ve never seen snow and never have anything under their tree on Christmas morning, yet they are still happy to be alive and have one another. That’s why when Santa showed up asking people what they wanted, their world was turned upside down. This incredible act of kindness brought tears to my eyes.
Sure, the holiday season’s true meaning has nothing to do with getting presents from Santa, but the point here is that it is all about helping those less fortunate than us, and WestJet managed to do it in a way that represents a great example for our society. In the end, nothing is more important than happiness and love and if you feel like you can make someone happy, always go for it. I am pretty sure that this Christmas is going to be as amazing as all the others. I know that all of you are impatiently waiting for it.
