the christmas event

This year's Chrsitmas is one of my most 'memorables'. Let's say it's not really about the glitz and glam of the celebration. For the first time, I, as in I, celebrated Christmas for its very essence. Yeah, I know. Since I was a kid I was taught what Christmas is all about, but it was just this year that I understood whole-heartedly what the celebration really meant.
Before, despite the fact that I am already a grown-up (or somehow), I still anticipate to receive a lot of gifts during Christmas. It is the time of gift-giving, they say. But did we realize that the one who has his birthday on the Christmas day is not receiving any at all? Well, technically no one's really a hundred percent sure that He was actually born on the 25th of December, but for the sake of unity and uniformity, the Romans appointed the said date (was that the Romans?). But whatever, the day is intended for the celebration of His birth. Yeah, gift-giving is totally fun but wouldn't it be more fun if the celebrant Himself gets His gift? So, what did you gave Him this time?
Despite of a very little gift I gave Him, He gave me one of the bestest gift I could ever ask for. What was it? Just read my next post.
