The day has finally come. Christmas has dawned on this sunny yet cold December morning. Many people across the former Yugoslavia, as well as around the world, have the chance today to experience a white Christmas. Christmas is Christmas regardless of whether it is white, grey, rainy, sunny, or windy. For believers—and for many non-believers as well—today is a special day. For some, it is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ; for others, an opportunity for family gatherings; and for yet others, a once-a-year occasion to enjoy special gifts, a lavish lunch, or an unusual journey.

Although the religious Christmas is the only true one, everyone has the right to their own experience. People are different, and differences should be respected. On this occasion, the editorial team of the Actualitica.com portal wishes you a Merry and Blessed Christmas. These are not fairy-tale times, but we express hope that a better tomorrow awaits us all—one framed by peace, stability, and general prosperity. Jesus Christ was born for the benefit of all people of the world, and each of us, with the Christmas spirit within, can contribute to making the world a happier place to live. Let us be solidary and think not only of ourselves, but also of the people around us.
