Christmas





I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
This year has been a great Christmas so far.....attending Christmas service last night, listening to the church choir singing the carols, watching a puppet show....then after that going out to Colours for a late night snack and chit chatting with mum and uncle David.

Then today I had to bring my maid to shop for some new clothes.

You know, sometimes, we get so caught up in the spirit of Christmas.

Christmas shopping, decorating the house/shop, putting up the Christmas tree, sending out Christmas cards and presents, preparing Christmas dinner......until we forget the true meaning of Christmas.

Is Christmas about Santa Claus, jingle bells, presents and turkey? Probably.

But there is a deeping meaning to Christmas than that.

Remember that Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of a baby boy....who would then grow up to save the world....to save us from our sins.
There was no room for Jesus in the inn. He was born in a barn. Such a humble circumstance He was born in. Had the innkeeper known who this baby truly is, would he have done anything differently?


My friends, as we celebrate Christmas today.....let us enjoy the celebrations, cherish in the joy of being with loved ones, the joy of loving and giving....and let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas, isn't Christmas,
Till it happens in your heart

Yes, there is one huge Christmas tree set up beside the HSBC bank. I took photos of it, but my camera ran out of battery and I didn't bring my charger back, so I'll post some pics when I go back to KL next Tuesday.

The Christmas atmosphere here in Kuching isn't bad at all.... Two shopping centres just opened here very recently.
