Christmas ...

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late!

Yuppers! thats the chipmunk song from the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks haha! I love it even though listen long already it gets irritating i admit LOL.

Christmas ... Christmas ... today at the speedlight Christmasie, Pastor Pacer asked the question "What does Christmas mean to you?" and then there was a short video asking ppl this question on Orchard road. But if you stop to think ... what does Christmas mean to you?

Of course the main reason is Jesus Christ, to celebrate his birth and the gift of salvation!

But if you think about your current life and the world as it is now ... What does Christmas really mean to you? Is it the gifts? the gatherings? the food? the decorations? the events? family? friends? shopping?

All these play a part of Christmas in our lives ... But they should not be what Christmas actually means ...

The meaning of Christmas is giving
A heart that is loving, forgiving
The meaning of Christmas is living in gladness
The meaning of Christmas is You

The joy of the season is making
A heart of deep sorrow, rejoicing
The meaning of Christmas is knowing God's goodness
The meaning of Christmas is You

Christmas tree and santa claus and jingle bells
They are only incidental things
God has given me His very best as you can tell
And what about the joy His precious love can bring

The meaning of Christmas is loving
A heart without hating or striving
The meaning of Christmas
Dispelling the darkness
The meaning of Christmas is You!!
