Love is an attitude, love is a prayer,
For a soul in sorrow, a heart in despair;
Love is good will for the gain of another,
Love suffers long with the fault of a brother

Santa Santa what's Christmas?
Christmas' round the corner, duh, even a 5 year old kid knows that, guess I was kinda redundant. But anyway carry on...
As usual, orchard road is brightly lit to herald this festive season, at the same time saying to us, "hey there mister, we put up the lights for you, now come and do the shopping alright baby?"
Oh my I just grossed myself out.
Yep, its the season for giving, at least that's what the retailers want us to think. Orchard road's totally crowded with shopperholics doing their last minute christmas shopping. Come to think of it I've yet to do mine too..drats..oh well pity me. But really what is christmas all about? Ignore the title it's just there to mislead you. haha. As a kid I always thought it was the presents and gifts I never fail to get from my parents and relatives, the exciting christmas tree which strangely has little lights all around its leaves and not forgetting the colourful lights in orchard road (i liked them when i was a little kid ok...don't laugh!!). However, ever since I knew my saviour personally, the 'real' christmas seems so much more, or a far cry, from just the festive season itself with all its packages and promises of presents and beauty. Yea, it is a season to celebrate but not because santa claus' coming to town but because of the birth of a child in a manger, and was to be called Emmanuel, God with us.
Here's a lovely song, I'll try to encode it on my blog when I finally figure that out=)
Christmas Isn't Christmas" - Music by Jimmy & Carol Owens - Lyrics by Carol Owens
Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you is where Christmas really starts
So give your heart 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's 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 Christmas really Christmas
Christmas really Christmas
Christmas really Christmas for you
Yep, the joy of christmas only comes alive after giving your heart to Jesus. And before you know it, its really christmas for you =)
Just on the same note, I'll be going caroling on the 22th dec to pre-believers place and, wow me, singing to old folks. Hope my horrible voice don't cause a heart attack. Brothers and sisters pray for me!!!
Goodnight
