Joy is not in things. Joy is in us.

A certain handsome blue-eyed British actor once said in a favourite Christmas movie of mine:

General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

And thus, the holidays remind us of all that is “always there” but we fail to notice it on daily basis. They belittle the material world and awake the human kindness, nobility and gratefulness. Holidays are the time of the year that bring us together, warm our hearts up and make us better people. Therefore, I wish for nothing else but health for my family, friends and all the people in this world in 2012 for only if one is healthy, he can pursue his dreams, attain his goals and give help to people in need.
