2020 Christmas - Time to Reflect, Share and Care

It is now December and the Christmas and New Year holidays are upon us. These holidays should be a time for everyone to be cheerful and full of joy. But the fourth wave of infection has struck us badly and the city is in dire straits facing the pandemic. The situation is even worse than that of the previous waves of infection and the usual festive mood is quite unlikely this Christmas. 

Notwithstanding the unpredictable effects of the pandemic making us feel helpless and hopeless, we should be optimistic and not let it dampen our spirits. Rather we should be more caring and sharing with love during this festive season. I recently watched a nice film related to Christmas on YouTube channel which I would like to share with all of you during this festival season with love.

The film is about a hedgehog with many sharp spines on its back. His sharp spines always cause trouble to him and his friends which makes him feel helpless and hopeless. However, the ending of the film is very touching because other animals do not leave the hedgehog alone or ignore him. They not only accept the hedgehog’s weakness, but also help him to adapt to the school life.

This film reminds us that accepting others’ weaknesses and making small changes can help us solve problems. It can help someone become more independent and positive rather than feeling helpless and hopeless. Moreover, the core message of this film is related to one of our school’s major concerns which is LOVE.

Let us learn to be lenient to others like the hedgehog’s friends. Let us show our love to others during this Christmas season and have a joyful new year ahead.
