"Yuletide Greetings."

"Yuletide Greetings."


Warm, patriotic greetings. 

 Initially, this message brought pleasant tidings to the people throughout the Yuletide season. Because, as the year comes to a close, this note encourages everyone to gather on this solemn occasion. This message extends its sincerest Yuletide greetings to everyone during this season of reflection, love, and togetherness. 

For Yuletide, or should say, Christmas is more than just a celebration; it is also a reaffirmation of hope and love among individuals and communities. Let everyone remember Christmas as a season of righteousness and justice, as Christ, the son of God, has promised salvation and a call to action in everyone. 

Especially at a time when the current system is straining to seem "united" while failing to uplift its own people, let alone pay its debts and boast about "development." In a recent message, its standard bearer reminded everyone that "the true meaning of Christmas lies in the recognition of the season as an opportunity to reach out to those who are suffering from solitude, sickness, and poverty," and yet the crisis persists as the same order fails to heed the basic calls of the people--that of socioeconomic justice and adherence to human rights--while boasting to the rest of the world that "development" continues as it benefits the people- only to found out it benefited the “haves” at the expense of the “have nots.” 

But regardless of their acts, those who are concerned finds in their latest reports uncovering of “disunity” and “continuing repression and injustice” a validation of its call that the people must learn, work, and struggle for their freedom and prosperity in their homes and communities. True that the desire for peace is a shared call, but for the truly concerned, the desire for peace alone is not enough as the order itself treats “peace” as just that of silence and society’s acquiescence to their interests. People desired peace with justice, and continual measures would ensure that this appeal was answered. 

Finally, let this note regard this occasion as a symbolic gateway to the sublime, an opportunity to reconnect with the timeless principles that guide and elevate minds and souls. As everyone gathers with loved ones this season, may they reflect on the wisdom that exists behind the traditions that they continue to adore. 

And like the Christmas candles being lighted for Christ’s birth, may the flame of every shared endeavor burn ever brighter, illuminating the path for all who seek the peace of the eternal in this age of dissolution. May this season bring all of us freedom, justice, unity, peace, and prosperity.
