It's Christmas time...

It's once again, the once-a-year affair... Christmas! Christmas! Christmas!

It's time to catch-up with friends again! Ah! with additional flavour to it... for that personal touch, handwritten card is still the best, I think... Nowadays, there are fewer reasons to go to the post office to buy and stick stamps on envelopes! Technology has closed the distances between mankind! Oh! It's so far, yet so near... ah! An email will reach within split seconds! Ah! Will the postman be out of job very soon?

Hm... As mentioned in a recent the Facebook's status updates - I enjoy sticking stamps on envelopes... ok, its therapeutic... more importantly, the emotion, the feel's different, it's like counting and sending out every well wishes to each and every individual... with that touch... how gingerly the stamp is stuck at that corner... the name and address are written... it matters! Haha...

Of course, not forgetting the electronic version... for those that I do not have the snail mail address... Thanks to technology here... without you... warm wishes will not be able to reach out these friends...

Was chatting with a friend just after the clock struck 12... It's Christmas! There she shared the meaning of Christmas... In John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life". Hence, it is important that while celebrating Christmas through catching up with friends, it is also good to look at the sky and see if you can see and feel God looking and loving you above."

Oh yes, showing appreciation and gratitude is important... the kind of good feeling generated - to the receiver and the giver... are simply unable to described with words... it's more than good, as it comes with love and care... ah! It could just melt one's heart, making the world a better place to live... Usually, we'll hear Salvation Army bells ringing outside shopping malls to remind people it's "giving time"... Nevertheless, if we step back and look at it... if we were to only associate giving and caring in Christmas... how about the rest of the 364 days in the year? Aren't we a bit stingy? Perhaps the ideal is working towards to every day being a Christmas day? Filled with the spirit of Christmas?

Cheers! Merry Christmas!
