Hey son, I know you don’t like the comic books that are given by your auntie. Just don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

 

Christmas comes but once a year : to tell people to enjoy Christmas to the fullest , often used as an excuse to spend more or consume more food

Christmas comes but once a year. I should get myself some presents on this special occasion.

Thanks for inviting me to the Christmas party. I will be there with the bells on!

Christmas ought to be a day full of blissfulness and happiness. Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle.

 

Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle! Although we only have one Christmas every year, there is no way should we let our perfectionism override the euphoric mood. As long as we are having close ones as companions or you have found the most comfortable way of enjoying the festival, it is already a perfect blessing.
