A celebration (William Wu He)

My favourite celebration is Christmas Holidays. These days are full of peace, tranquillity, and the Christmas spirit is inside everybody. Now that I’ve grown up, Christmas celebration is worse than before, but when I was a child these days were full of magic.

I remember when I was 7 years old, I wanted Santa Claus to bring me the PlayStation One. For that reason, the whole year I had been a good boy without playing any pranks. I was hoping for Santa Claus to give me the PlayStation, but when I opened the gift, there was no PlayStation at all, the gift was a book of Harry Potter, the fourth book, the longest by far. At that moment I got angry and disappointed and I realized that Santa Claus didn't exist.

But two weeks later, in the 3 Kings celebration, the gift was the PlayStation, but I had just discovered the truth. Santa Claus and the Magic Kings were inventions.

In that moment I left behind my ingenuous mind and I became aware of reality. That was the beginning of my growing up phase.
