"someone who has nothing better to do"Santa Claus versus Jesus Christ
Well, maybe for popularity, Santa Claus might be the winner. In fact, he is most empasized on Christmas as if he was the main guy in the scene. Even if he's really not. Kaya nga Christmas eh, CHRISTmas....the holiday got itself because of the birth of Jesus Christ. Maybe December 25 is not the exact date but as long as we celebrate it for Jesus, it was put here.
Back to Santa Claus. I don't know. This dude did not do anything that significant to overpower the importance of Jesus........ask a bunch of kids and they will most likely recognize a picture of Santa than an illustration of Jesus...*sigh* Anyways back to significance. Jesus did something significant. In fact it is the most significant thing....he sacrificed Himself for us... The God of the universe humbled himself to come down for us....unworthy people..because he loved us so much! That is why Jesus was born! That is why we are celebrating His birth. The gifts are just a minor part and what's most important is we know the real essence of having Christmas.
I mean, yea, we can have gifts, food, friends, family, and all...and at the same time remembering our Savior's birth. Seriously I was out of my mind as we are having our simulataneous parties and get-togethers. Most of the time, I forgot who I am doing this for and I would care how many people would greet me through text or whatever. Ngayon nga lang ako natauhan... As I was reading some blogs of people I know, I realized that it is not for the sake of just celebrating or reuniting people.
Well that's about it. Just don't forget it's not about the gifts, but remembering the love Jesus gave us by bing born into this world. :P Well I hope you have happy holidays!! God bless!! :D :D
What happened today update:
1. We didn't go to CCF today. I know....that was kinda sad. But it's okay. I felt a bit guilty leaving all our Sunday School responsibilities to our friends. I missed the people there because we didn't get to see most of them in two weeks. I'll go January 1st I think. I don't know I wish I'd go...
I WANT TO GO! =((
2. We went to Festival Mall w/ our family. Haii. Ya we watched Exodus to get free tickets for EK. xD heehee. That's the reason why we didn't go because we need to go early. We have to be the first 800 or else we can't get to have EK tickets. I mean, we don't have funds to go to Enchanted basta basta.... for me it's probably just once every blue moon to go to such places! And it's also quality time for my family and the memories I'll have there if ever. LOLOLOLOL...xD we'll go at Jan.7 I think it depends.
So I guess that's it. Merry Christmas everyone! ^__^
