Peanuts and Christmas

A video I came across today. Enjoy!

My Heart would be your Bethlehem.

Hihi, we sang this anthem (beautifully) last year during Christmas.

It is still fresh in my memory, truly one of the best written Christmas songs I've heard.

Really like the arrangement for this one.

They interwoved a traditional Christmas hymn.

If you listen carefully, the piano comes in with "Glo......ria", in the interlude as well.

The modulation was a little surprise :)

"My heart, my will, my mind, my all, I consecrate to bring."

Reason for the Season...

O.O It's December.

omg, one month left to 2010! :(

Lights are up, cakes are out, presents on sale.

There is this popular chain store here that had this promotional tagline

"Wats Christmas without WXXXXS'S?"

The world still doesn't get it, What is Christmas?

I'm guilty of planning my Christmas shopping, thinking of the cards, presents and food.

Then the tagline reminded me to stop.

"Wats Christmas without Christ?"

Ahah, Christmas is the time to spread some love.

I so think that Valentine's Day is not the season to love, we've got it all wrong!
(Loving has no season, by the way)

Anyway, there can be giving during Christmas as well, don't get me wrong.

But, I figured we must plan the budget of giving wisely.

Surely that brother or sister doesn't need another box of chocolate, bar of soap or bottle of wine.

How about something intangible?

Or an extra offering to a stranger, to a mission, to a needy child somewhere, to a needy brother somewhere?

Give, by all means. And don't hold back the Love of giving.

Now, just to get you into the mood for love...
