Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 2008. I love Christmas. The spirit that comes with the holiday is irreplaceable. I love love Christmas lights. It's so wonderful to drive down the street and see the lights glistening in the night. During this season, people seem to be more inclined to love and give. I'm glad that I can realize the "true meaning" of Christmas. You hear it every year in various places: "Don't forget to remember the true meaning of Christmas!" Well, although repetitive, this statement rings true and can be very beneficial to those who may not realize this true meaning. Yes, one can become caught up in the glamour of the presents...I really love presents ;) But it's good to recall the Christmas spirit that is in the air. I do believe that Christmas should be a time to reflect on the birth of Christ. However, in my opinion, we all must remember the way that Christ lived his life. If only year round people could make the attempt to become more Christlike. Put in those words, it sounds "religiousy." So, in other words, the world should strive to become more kind and loving to others. I'm not saying, by any means, that I've acheived this goal. But, I can be one more person with the initiative.

Peace on earth, good will to men.

Sing and I will hear you
No matter where you are
A song to light the darkest night
And guide me from afar

And I will never be alone
Now I know you’re somewhere
You’re everywhere to me
You’re the colour in the sky
A reason to believe
And when the rain falls down
You tell a story
And I will hear you
Always near you
By the boab tree

Lay your arms around me
Like the falling rain
Let the feeling drown me
And life begins again

And I will never be afraid
Now I know you’re somewhere
You’re everywhere to me
The warming of the sun upon
The earth beneath my feet
And when the rain falls down
You tell a story
And I will hear you
Always near you
By the boab tree

Oh you are somewhere
You’re everywhere to me
You’re the colour in the sky
And you’re the earth beneath my feet
And when the rain falls down
You tell a story
And I will hear you
Always near you
