Christmas is about God giving Himself to us through Jesus' life with us and death for us.


With the commercialism in the world today, Christmas has become probably the event of the year. The time when our wants are met with lavish gifts from loved ones and friends, all done in the name of spreading festive joy. There is no wrong in that. However, the true meaning of Christmas has been lost. But what is the true meaning of Christmas.


Christmas is about gifts. It is about the two most important gifts one could have. Christmas is an occasion when we thank God that He revealed Himself to us through Jesus and gave us all eternal life if we believe in the name of His Son. That is why I celebrate Christmas. Not for the presents. Or the parties. They are but supplements to the best gift we have.


For me, this year I spent Christmas with my family. No big parties. Or any special event to remember. Just a quiet day. When we enjoyed the company we could bring to each other. To thank God for giving us each other. Going to church service. Christmas lunch. And a shopping trip in the evening. Quiet, uneventful, but spent with the most important and cherished people in my life.


Blessed Christmas to all, and Here's to a great year ahead.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
