A Ramble into the Incomprehensible...

Funny how the Christmas season tends to make you more wistful, more longing for magic to happen and for the impossible to pleasantly surprise?

I have many wishes on my christmas list... many intangible things in fact. I wonder if God will grant me the desires of my heart this year. =)
Busyness keeps me from thinking more than i should. But every once in awhile, the longing creeps in. I guess i'm finally ready. But I really hope God brings the right one this time. I was thinking about it today. And I realise, much to my own astonishment, that I've forgotten how it feels like to fall in love. How wierd! That light-hearted and sweet feeling... how does it feel like again? Mmmmmm...I really can't remember!

Christmas is a season of celebration.
Yet sometimes, I wonder whether the majority of people here know what they are celebrating about.
It's the birthday of our most beloved, precious Jesus!
Without Jesus, all that present-giving, those lip-smacking christmas dinners, those elaborate lighting and decoration at Orchard road mean NAUGHT. NOTHING.
How can we celebrate something that we do not know the significance of, or for that matter, something we do not believe in?
I really hate how people turn christmas into a commercial event. It's not about Santa Claus. It's about real love; love that is powerful, gutsy and sacrificing. Love that is embodied in the son of God. Love that cannot be experienced through mere feel-good caroling about Frosty the snowman or Santa and his elves.
