what day is today?? it's Christmas Eve!! yeah~ i wanna wish everyone a BLESSED AND JOYOUS CHRISTMAS in advance..
i just talked to someone on msn today and was telling him how excited i was cause it's Christmas eve.. guess what respond i got in return..
he said, it's not a big festival for him and it's nothing special..
well, with all due respect, i respect his perspective on Christmas.. different people see Christmas in different ways.. however, there's something in common in their views.. and the similarity is L-O-V-E!!!
in Christians' view:
Christmas day is the day where Jesus Christ was born, and Jesus Christ himself is the love that God gave to the world. Jesus died for all our sins on the cross. that's the sacrifice He has done for us because He loves us!! on Christmas day, Christians will gather in church, giving praises and thanks to the Lord, expressing their love to the Lord. obviously, Christmas is a big day for Christians and it is filled with love and joy!!
Family:
i bet this song, I'll Be Home For Christmas isn't a stranger to everyone out there. it's obvious, this song is written because Christmas bring a significant meaning to some families. life, getting more and more complicated and hectic as time goes by.. decades after decades, lifestyle changed drastically.. and it's ain't getting cheaper.. everything comes with a 'skyscraper' high price.. during ordinary days, people will be walking away from their family, with one purpose, reaching to their goal.. says, one might leave their hometown to LA to pursue their dream in entertainment field, or to New York for a better job with good prospect, or to Switzerland for a peaceful life, or to Malaysia for... i don't know.. haha.. when Christmas is coming, everyone will try to make it back home.. to see the family that they left behind to pursue their dream.. when family meets up, stories after stories will be told.. hugs and kisses exchange will be everywhere.. and most important, the whole house will be filled with love.. Christmas, to some families, is the day where jobs and responsibilities being pushed aside, meeting up family members and pour out the love that they owe their family members for the time being away from home..
Lovers:
I'll have a blue Christmas, without you..I'll be so blue, just thinking about you..
Decoration of red on the green Christmas tree..
Wont be the same dear, if you're not here with me...
does this song ring a bell?? it's Blue Christmas.. it's a song about lover being separated by something, could be anything, work, travelling, cancellation of flight, miss the flight back home for Christmas.. who on earth will not wanna spend their Christmas with their love one?? busy schedule, work or short of budget to get air ticket to come back home are some of the obstacles face by some couples in the ordinary days. Christmas, it's a day that they will be looking for.. for the return of their love one.. to celebrate together, spend time together.. it's doesn't matter if they are husband and wife, or boyfriends and girlfriends, all they want is just to be with their love one.. have a romantic Christmas holiday together.. that's they express their love among one another.
Charity Organization:
it's not an odd thing to see all the celebrities volunteer themselves for charity work on Christmas day.. some sings to raise charity fund, some involve themselves in helping building up charity house for homeless, some even put in santa claus costume to deliver Christmas gifts for the orphans.. have you ever wonder why people do charity on Christmas day?? Charity is a voluntarily work for the unfortunate people.. not all the people in this world is fortunate enough to spend their Christmas day with love.. for orphans, all they can do is to write a Christmas wishlist and try to mail it to Santa Claus.. for old forks, all they can do is to look at their previous family photo and spend their Christmas with the sweet memory they have.. of cause, the main purpose of all the purpose to carry out charity work is to spread love to the unfortunate one.. it's doesn't matter if they're black or white, love is the only thing they seek.. charity work also shows them that they are not being abandoned and the world still care and love them as much as before.. this will fill them with happiness, hope and on top of all, love...it's doesn't matter if you are black or white, Christians or non-Christians, Asians or Westerner, what language you speak, what religion you are, Christmas is still a celebration for all because Christmas is love.. unconditional love.. some your love to your family, lover and friends.. for Christians, most importantly, show your love to God and Jesus Christ..
fill your Christmas with love.. and share your love with everyone around you.. then you definitely have a joyous and memorable Christmas!!
