Christmas Eve - A message to everyone : Week to Xmas Day 7

Hey Guys ,

 As today is CHRISTMAS EVE !! I have decided to just do a  post explaining something that I am passionate about .  This is something related to Christmas , and also I thought it tied in with my experience yesterday (explained below ) .

Let's Get Started !

My story starts yesterday when I was at a fast food restaurant eating dinner with my family. We were all enjoying our food , chatting about what we  want for Christmas etc . , when a young Man (around 18-20 years old ) walked in . He had a black raincoat on and he was soaked through . His hands were filthy and his hood covered his face .

He walked into the bathroom area and headed straight for the wheelchair users bathroom. We didn't take much notice of him , but after a while we realized he wasn't coming out . A member of staff was called and he went to the bathroom area to look for the man .

When the member of staff finally got him out of the toilet , word got around that he had been sleeping in the wheelchair bathroom . He was homeless . He doesn't have family to give to or receive presents from . This really opened up my eyes .

This affected me and it made me look at Christmas from a totally different point of view . It made me realise how materialised Christmas is nowadays , and it made me a whole lot more grateful for the presents I will receive this Christmas.

I hope that I gave made my point clear enough for you to understand . I wish you all a very merry Christmas ! I will be posting on the 28th of December so stay  tuned for that .
Until then ,

Bye x
