Joy to the world the Lord is come,
Let earth receive Her King,
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and heaven and nature sing.

So it's almost the mid of December &&& Christmas is around the corner!!! XD *Christmas mood ON*
I remember when I was a little kid, I used to be excited about Christmas event. All the parties, food, games and most importantly getting Christmas gift are the highlights of my Christmas. I even believe the existence of Santa Claus. I was hoping every time when there is a Christmas tree,Santa Claus will put a present underneath.Now that you have already grown up, you know all of these are just myth. I feel that Christmas will be well celebrated at cold western countries that has snow. For instances, Italy, Europe, UK and others. This winter season somehow creates the atmosphere of Christmas which most people will build snowman and throw snow ball. But there is a better meaning of Christmas.
Question is, "What is Christmas all about?"
Most people in the world believe that Christmas is the day our Saviour, Lord Jesus is born. During the olden days, an angel named Gabrielle appeared to a virgin mother called Mary. She was told that she is going to conceive a baby that is from the Holy Spirit and shall call His name Jesus.
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel," which is translated, "God be with us." -Matthew 1:23- (NKJ version)
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem, behold, three wise men from the East came to Jerusalem. They traveled and brought gifts along to search for the king. The star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. They rejoiced with with exceeding great joy. And when they saw the young Child with His mother, they fell down and worshiped Him. They presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
After all, Christmas is not just all about food, Santa Claus, shopping and gifts. It is rather giving hope to the homeless, less fortunate and lost people.They too can experience the true meaning of Christmas which bring them love, joy and peace. CHRISTMAS is CHRIST :) Christ came down to give us life and life more abundantly. Before I end this post, I have a video to share:
Christmas flashmob! XD
Have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year~
