Merry Christmas...

Christmas is a day away


But somehow the feel’ of Christmas is missing this year


Maybe things are incomplete for me I guess


This year my family has no plans


My friends on the other hand are busy with their own plans


Actually they are scattered all over the place...


Some are honey-mooning in Europe and Australia right now


Some are in Alor Setar (without Kimmy...haha!), Ipoh, Johor, Penang, Singapore, Paris, Sydney And the country that starts with a ‘U’ (Can’t guess?...United States of America lah!)


This year GBF isn’t coming home also which makes Christmas feel weird somehow, like something is missing... (Bdw, I miss your crappy jokes)


But you know what? I think we sometimes forget what Christmas really is; we forget the reason to celebrate...


Christmas isn’t just another holiday in our calendar


Christmas isn’t just about gifts, trees, decorations and turkey


Christmas isn’t just another family and friends gathering (We should remember them more often than once a year!)


Christmas is definitely not just for couples (no offence ah)


Finally Christmas isn’t about Santa, his sleigh and Rudolph the red nose reindeer (lol)


So what is Christmas to me??


Christmas is about LOVE (Harlow, not Boy-Girl-Relationship Love lah)


It’s about God’s love for us; somehow we matter to Him


It’s about Jesus coming into this world to save us...and that’s my reason to celebrate


John 3:16: “For God so love the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”


1 John 4:19: “We love because HE FIRST LOVED US.”


There’s this quote that I love. Brooke Davis said it in One Tree Hill...


Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same.”


This is it.


I hope you find the reason to celebrate...Merry Christmas!
