Even though it is a little over a month away, I thought I would write out my feelings or thoughts about Christmas and what it means to me.
1.) Christmas, first of all, means celebrating the TRUE meaning of the holiday: the Birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who was born on this Earth as a man and lived here until He was crucified for OUR sins (something HE chose to do Himself, He loved us that much!).
2.) Christmas also means getting together with family and friends for presents, eating, and just spending good times together; after all, isn't that what Christmas is about: spending time with the ones you love??
3.) Christmas also means singing at church, singing songs of Jesus' Birth, and hearing the Story of The First Christmas, and singing all of those beautiful Christmas songs. (My favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night".)
4.) Christmas means Christmas lights and Christmas trees decorated with ornaments; and Christmas holly and wreaths festooned on the front doors of houses.
5.) Christmas means cold weather and snow..lots of it!
6.) Christmas means getting to test out your new sled or remote control car, or getting to play with your new computer; and also getting to wear your Sunday or Holiday Best (and hoping that you DON'T get food spilled onto your good clothes, or maman or daddy JUST MIGHT get MAD!!).
7.) Christmas means cookies and cakes baked fresh by grandmere'; and Christmas means getting to help maman and daddy with cooking the food.
8.) Christmas means being on your best possible behavior (for Santy Claus is watching out over all the good little boys and girls, and if a boy or a girl gets into mischief, he or she may find a lump of coal in their stockings!).
9.) Christmas means sharing memories of past Christmases with your family as you recall special gifts you may have gotten.
10.) Christmas means singing a solo during the annual Christmas program at school. (Each year I get to do that; I usually sing "O Holy Night". People seem to enjoy it when I sing that song.)
11.) Christmas means watching shows like "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Frosty The Snowman", and "It's A Wonderful Life" on television.
12.) Christmas also means birthdays..and not just Jesus' Birthday. (I was born ON Christmas Day! It is also my twin sister Robyn's birthday!!)
And finally, Christmas to me also means miracles. You see, I am a living Miracle. Almost 2 years ago, I almost didn't make it to 8. I had a stroke, and I nearly died; but I soon got better, and now I am fixin' to be 10 years old next month!!
