Some say that a father’s love is as strong as a mountain. Fathers are said to be more silent and strict than mothers. Some might even seem like they don’t know how to show their love. But they still play an important role in their children’s growth.
Studies show that children’s behavior has a close relationship with their fathers. Children who have good relationships with their fathers behave better. They tend to be more independent, confident and brave. When fathers are absent, children are more likely to feel worried, drop out of school and have bad relationships.
Recently, more and more people try to express their love for fathers on Father’s Day. How was Father’s Day born? A woman from the US named Sonora Smart Dodd came up with the idea for Father’s Day. Her father, Henry Jackson Smart, brought up six kids, including Sonora after her mother died. Sonora wanted him to know how special he was to her. One day in 1909, she went to a Mother’s Day activity and got the idea. Her father was born in June, so she chose that month to celebrate the new holiday.

The Spirit of Christmas
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning—Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
