the hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight.

it's 12.30am so technically it's one day to Christmas.

the presents under the tree is nearing their unwrapping.
i got hannah something totally out of my budget, and way big. so she's been guessing. bekah gave her a clue, that the gift starts with c and ends with r. she used the dictionary for the first time in her life i think.
ok maybe not.

so for now, she thinks it's either a chair, a calculator, a calendar, a cucumber or a chandelier.
i won't let it out in case she reads this before midnight today, though i doubt it. Christmas eve is a busy day.

it's hard to stay focused on the true cause of Christmas celebration amidst worldly commercials.
still, as Christians, Christmas is one of the best times to witness to others about Jesus. and we must not lose sight of that.

i will sit, and meditate, and probe my feelings. will Christmas still be Christmas if on the 25th i'm alone in my room with no celebration or presents whatsoever? only a time for me to privately thank God for the birth of Jesus.

nothing makes me more happy than when my answer is yes. when i know that to me, Christmas is nothing more than the beginning of God's salvation plan in action.

if you have not accepted Jesus into your lives, however elaborate your Christmas may be, you are being restraint from the true joy of Christmas.

that this God, has come close enough to us. Immanuel- God with us. that human are able to touch, kiss Him not knowing they have kissed God.

indeed, that is the true joy of Christmas.

Blessed Christmas (:

Christmas isn't Christmas.

Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you is where Christmas really starts
So give your ehart to Jesus, you'll discover when you do
That it;s Christmas really Christmas for you.

Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle glow
He's waiting now to come inside
As He did so long ago
Jesus brings gifts of truth and life
And makes them bloom and grow
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes you'll know, that-
