Merry Christmas!!!

It's xmas time again. Somehow I don't feel the xmas spirit (as everyone puts it). I'm longing for the xmas celebrations you see on the television, like lots of food, lots of presents, and gathering around a fireplace...*sigh*. I guess I'll just have to make do with whatever I have here. Like rain for example. Ugh.

I went to visit two houses today (although I didn't want to, my parents did). They were Haydn's and Hacm's kampung houses. Very big, you know. We had to drive like an hour to get there. My parents and my sis went for visiting but I'm staying at home. I don't wanna go.

Before we left, there was something that hit me when I listened to the radio. The radio was like playing people's first thoughts on xmas. Some said "shopping", "shoes", "presents", and whatnot, but never did I hear "Jesus" or "God". Have we forgotten the true meaning of xmas? I mean, isn't xmas suppose to remind us of the birth of Jesus??? It seems that most of us celebrate xmas just because it's our favourite celebration and all. I don't know lah.

Then I thought that xmas isn't just about presents, sitting around the fireplace and all. It's about God, and that's all it is. I told myself that I shouldn't feel down on xmas...instead I should be glad and thankful. I mean, now's a good time to thank God for everything, including sending His Son to die for us. And we've forgotten about that. *sigh*

Anyways, for you guys who feel down, don't! Put God in your heart, you'll feel better, trust me. Remember that xmas isn't about the material stuff, it's also the spiritual stuff. Once again, merry christmas!

GOD BLESS!!!
