The Man who built Christmas

As you sit around the Christmas Tree,

Surround yourself with your family.

Reflect on this very important question

Who made all this real

How are the presents able to be afforded, who put the Christmas tree up, whose house are you gathered in today

Was it you

Are you the man of your household

Are you the one everyone relies on yet or does your father still hold the burden

Maybe your uncle or your grandfather is the chief of your tribe.

But whether it's you now, or whether it will be you in the future.

You should be thinking about the actions you will take to make future Christmases even better than this one.

Because that's what it means to be a man.

It's what man was meant for,

It's what men FIGHT AND DIE for,

Man was designed for the singular purpose of spreading joy to his loved ones,

Giving them a safe place to celebrate festivities and a life where they all are in a position to enjoy it.

And that will require blood, suffering and pain to achieve.

So enjoy this Christmas.

But prepare for the war required for the next one.

Nothing is guaranteed, everything is rented and the rent is soon due.

If you are the captain of your ship,

Or if you have any aspiration to be,

Prepare.
