  1. Christmas Present 4 You

    December 30, 2010

    A belated Christmas present for everyone of you that I treasure and love





    The True Meaning of Christmas

    It's that time of year again. December has come and with it all the joys of Christmas. But what is the real meaning of Christmas? Is it the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, the cards in the mail, turkey dinners with family and friends, snow in the yard, stockings hanging in the living room, and shouts of "Merry Christmas" to those who pass us in the streets? Is this really Christmas?

    For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmastime when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Turkey dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some.

    Yet, Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. You see, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. Shepherds, wise men, and angels all shared in the excitement of knowing about this great event. They knew this was no ordinary baby. The prophets had told of His coming hundreds of years before. The star stopped over Bethlehem just to mark the way for those who were looking for this special child.

    Luke 2: 4-19 says:

    "So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

    And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

    This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

    When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."

    Why did He come? Why did God send His son to this sometimes cruel and hard world? He sent Jesus to us so that one day, He would grow up to become a very important part of history. His story (history) is one of truth, love, and hope. It brought salvation to all of us. Without Jesus, we would all die in our sins.

    Jesus was born so one day the price could be paid for the things we have done that are wrong. The Bible says that all have sinned. We are all born with a sin nature. We do things that do not please God. Through the sins of Adam and Eve, we have all inherited that sin nature. We need to have that removed. The only way is through Jesus. Jesus came so He could die on the cross for ALL of our sins. If we believe that Jesus died for our sins, we can ask Him to come into our hearts and forgive us. Then, we are clean and made whole. We can know that heaven is a place where we can go to when this life is over.

    "But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong." I John 1:9

    We can truly be happy at Christmas! No matter what may be happening, we can know that we are His children. We then become sons and daughters of God. Heaven will be our home one day.

    Look at Christmas in a new way this year. This is the year to invite Jesus into your heart. You will then have a "Merry Christmas." The joy and peace you will receive will last all year as you look to God for all your needs to be met.

    Jesus Is The Reason For The Season! Rejoice!

    Holidays season = Movies season


    Its undeniable! Dozen and dozen of movies showing lately. Good ones, cheap sounding ones, I-can-tell-its-bad-just-by-looking-at-the-name ones...
    They are ALL here to celebrate the season of joy!!!!!.... Ok more like peeling our money from our skin.


    Anyway a good movie is worth a 11 bucks I guess.

    I was anticipating a few movies, i.e. Harry Potter VII, Narnia, The Social Network etc etc. I was really looking forward to watch HP7!! The reviews were good ;)


    Since I had been quarantined for SPM for thaaaaaaaaaaat long, my mom 'approved' me to accompany my baby sis to watch Rapunzel A Tangled Tale. Not what I expected but ok lah just follow whatsoever.

    IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOVIE THAT JUST MADE MY YEAR


    I know I could never be let down bu Disney's productions but this is just SO SO great. My favourite Disney Princess movie so far.

    And that's huge! I'm a super loyal fan of Disney, I think I DID watch over 70% of all of their productions (including cartoons, shorts and so)

    Rapunzel is my favourite!!!!! AHHHHH~~~~~




    Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale/ Tangled


    That's a lot of hair!!!!!






    Why I love this movie so much--



    Reason 1: Rapunzel

    She's so lively and realistic. I mean her personality lah, her look is so obviously cartoon-ish. Finally, a princess who isn't always dreaming about Prince Charming! She isn't entirely tough throughout the movie like Belle (Sleeping Beauty) or Jasmine (Aladdin).

    She is definitely cute and hilarious and pretty!! Lol. Her blonde hair is just soooooooo amazing. I can't stop thinking that she HAS to be the spokesperson of Sunsilk = =




    See what did I mean? HAIR






    Reason 2: Flynn Rider/ Eugene Fitzherbert

    He is the most handsome thief I've ever seen. Omgosh how I wish he was a real person. LOL. He's a little cunning and a little vain, but overall I would say he is funny and charming! Haha... Rapunzel is lucky~ And how he is willing to sacrifice for Rapunzel is so touching!

    How could a thief be so handsome?!? RARRRR @@





    "They just can't get my nose right!"
    Just go and watch and you'll know what I mean






    Reason 3: Pascal

    Rapunzel's chameleon. Needless to explain, just wait till you see his face!!



    HAHAHAHAHAHA







    And this








    See how qian bian is his look?!






    Reason 4: Maximus

    A kinda stupid and stubborn palace horse who hates Flynn and loves Rapunzel. The chemistry of Max and Flynn is hilarious!!!!




    He sniffs like a dog. Tell me about multi-talented.





    See the zhuai yang...






    Reason 5: The frying pan

    Yes. The frying pan. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE MOVIE TO UNDERSTAND!!!



    I couldn't remember how many times I laughed because of this frying pan!!!





    Reason 6: The Lanterns

    Nothing more to say. Just because it is romantic.





    Must be good in 3D :)














    Okay and many, many more to go. I couldn't describe more how I love this movie!!!!


    so the conclusion is,
    .

    WATCH IT RIGHT AWAY !!!!!








    *****



    and Happy Holidays!

    God bless!!
    xoxo

    Christmas isn't about Santa Claus, nor sales in malls.
    Its way more than that.
