MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!!!!!! :)
Congratulations to each and every person who has successfully witnessed and joined in the celebration of the selfless saviour's birth!! You, my friend, are one loved and highly favore person. Just so you know. :)
I'm excited to be here, thankful more like. God's been exceedingly faithful and merciful and i'll all but shout it from the rooftop(s)! :D
It's been a wonderful year. Every incident, experience or challenge, encounter or attack, memory and adventure, smile or scowl, laugh or tear, EVERYTHING! has in some way contributed to the uniqueness of 2013 and llike it or not, they have all added to the changes in you. They've had a mighty hand in making sure the person you were 361 days ago, isn't the person you are now.Innit grand? I think it is too.
Christmas is wonderful. I appreciate the amazing love expressed to us by God almighty in His letting His beloved son come to earth to undergo agonizing pain and suffering just so we get to dodge His mega wrath. I appreciate the truth and reality of this each day i take in oxygen. It's truly beautiful that we get to have Christmas-a day that ought to serve as the global reminder- so the entire world can take out one day in the year to collectively revel in such irrational love.
Unfortunately, way too many are ignorant to or have just gradually forgotten Christmas day's essence. Well let's make it simple;
No Jesus, No Christmas.
Jesus Christ is the center of attraction. He is all that is worth celebrating. He is worth all the joy and excitement and thanksgiving. HE is the REASON for the SEASON.
Not 'X', not 'Santa Claus', not Presents, not stockings, not trees, cookies, milk and chicken, not Mistletoe and Romance, not some warped definition(s) of love, not great holidays, great food and gift hampers.
It's Jesus, Jesus, JESUS! It's not going to change. Christmas celebrates HIM! Enough with the sad hype of Santa Claus and food and parties, presents, clothes, vacations and what have you. If all the festive fun we have is not centered on Christ and not expressed for reason of our love, absolute surrender and gratitude to Him...it might as well be any other day.
Oh and one more thing; there is no such thing as Xmas. Nobody celebrates the birth of X, X never died for nor saved anyone. X is a plain old letter that has nothing to do with anything as concerns CHRIST.
Let's QUIT IT, alright? I am not an 'X'tian celebrating 'X'mas.
I'm a Christian, honored and privileged to know Christ and to have had a whooping great CHRISTmas!
Merry Christmas all. :)
