Yes, I Saw Love With My Eyes        (Sahil Sharifdin Bhat ) Love is the heartbeat of existence. Love turns hardships into ease.  Love is the purpose of existence.  A loveless life is a severe disease.   Yes, I saw love with my baby eyes, Singing me a melodious song,  Feeding me from her gentle bosom While holding me in hands strong.  Yes, I saw love with my child eyes  Playing with me in school ground, Climbing trees that had unripe fruit, Watching birds with beautiful sound.  Yes, I saw love again with child eyes  When I was studying in grade third.  A girl with green eyes and black hair,  Speaking words that were unheard.  Yes, I saw love with my teen eyes  When I noticed the call for prayer.  I was told there is a God  Loving me dearly and taking care. Yes, I saw love with my eager eyes   Kissing, hugging and cuddling me.  Then, doing the same with other boys, And, leaving me broken, weeping a sea.  Years later , she called on my phone Saying, sorry for breaking your heart, 

  Origin of Christmas ? 1] People used to celebrate # saturnalia [ Birthday of Saturn]  on 25th of December before Christianity came into existence. According to # Roman mythology, Saturn was the son of Uranus (the sky) and Gaia (the Earth) same as Jesus is allegedly thought  to be the son of God.  2] Later on, Christians hijacked saturnalia and renamed it 'Christmas'. Thus , they stole this festival from the Roman mythology in the Mediaeval Times. In 17th-century England, Christmas was banned by Puritans, but it was later reinstated during the Restoration. 3] In the United States, the 19th century saw the revival of Christmas traditions, influenced by German immigrants and the publication of Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (1823). 4] Modern Christmas customs, including Santa Claus, became more standardized in the 20th century through  literature, movies , advertising and popular culture.
