The Christmas season always comes with its requisite pomp and pageantry, with homes, offices, parks and roadways being decorated with so many lights and decorations (especially in the Philippines). Our home is no exception to this and I credit my wife for how wonderful our home looks and feels every Christmas season.
Here are some pictures I've taken around our house:
Santa Claus in snow
Santa Claus on the roof
Christmas balls
Christmas stockings
Red poinsettia leaves
Christmas ball... and self portrait
The Holy Family
My family
Christmas decors notwithstanding, we should always remember the true meaning of Christmas. It's not about all the decors, nor the gifts, Santa Claus, blinking lights, decorated trees, gifts, and what not.
One cold night about 2,000 years ago, a child was born in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, welcomed by shepherds and angels, and worshipped by kings. Jesus Christ joined us in our world on that fateful night, a demonstration of God's infinite love and a promise of Salvation for all of us.
Christmas is a celebration of a promise fulfilled. Glory to the newborn King!!!
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting father, The Prince of Peace." -- Isaiah 9:6
