Share Love this CHRISTMAS

24 Dec 2009 1 Comment

Last night I felt down and practically in despair. Why? Because this year our family is doing some belt tightening and we won’t be going down to Manila to celebrate Christmas with our relatives. I was so disappointed I didn’t want to have noche buena altogether. That’s when my Mama knocked some sense into me. You don’t need to know how exactly, she just did. Like I said before, mothers have their own indescribable ways of dealing and doing things. Quite neat, no?

I realized that I’ve been selfish and self centered. I’ve been acting like a girl during her period just because I can’t make it to the family reunion this Christmas when the fact is a lot more Filipinos have lost their homes in a fire, but they are still happy because the reason for celebrating Christmas is not the material and temporal things it brings forth, but rather the person who is the essence of the occasion. The man nailed on the cross for our behalf: Jesus Christ. Now I don’t want to be preachy and force my convictions on anyone who disagrees with me, but I believe I should at least get it out there that when I celebrate Christmas, I celebrate my salvation. I celebrate Christ.

I guess I can end this post with the last three words of the previous paragraph. So ciao dear readers. Merry Christmas! Share the love, share Christ.

L (Mr. Lontoc - Mr. L - L) says thanks for taking the time to drop by H☺☻lΩh☻☺ps™, and welcomes you to his sphere. Hopefully, you enjoy spinning around the loop and learn something worthwhile at the same time.

Since he was a kid with snot all over his face, L has enjoyed story telling and writing. He'd use to come up with fantastic stories on the spot that usually had his adult listeners roaring with laughter.

Because his loving parents recognized his passion for the art, they surrounded him with books and sent him to the University of the Philippines' Summer Arts Workshops where he studied creative writing under the supervision of Cristina Bejar. The workshop nurtured his love for writing, and sharpened his skill as a pen man.

L is a harmless guy who only hurts the mosquitoes that buzz around his head at night and other irritating pests, and he welcomes your feedback and comments. He is also willing to listen to your suggestions etc. However, L does not tolerate spammers. His spam detector makes sure of that. Oh, he also detests plagiarism.

So again, thanks for visiting, welcome, and enjoy! Cheers!
