Destiny's Claim

Monday, December 27, 2004

Yup, it's over. Can't say i'm happy about it, but i'm definately not too sad about it having gone past already. I've had happy times, i've had annoying times, all in this season. spent lotsa time with jo doing nothing at all, and i'm sure we enjoyed ourselves. =) people like her give the angels inspiration.

But i was reminded by her about something really simple - how to spell. Spell "Christmas". Not "Xmas". Don't replace "Christ" with an "X" - don't cross Him out of the season. Don't forget what Christmas is truly about. Don't take the cause away from the effect.

Yet with all the commercialism and advertising, it's sadly so easy. Santa Claus wants you to buy more gifts to show you love your family. Employers give you bonuses at the end of the year. Shopping malls have sales and discounts, before, during and after Christmas. No where do we see Jesus in the picture.

But remember, He's there. He's everywhere. He's walking down Orchard Road, sitting in the movies, at the homes of people. During Christmas, but not limited to this season, remember Jesus.

Remember the reason for the season.
