Christmas Today

Everyone knows it's Christmas today but I meant to say Christmas today. So, time change huh? Everyone accepts a celebration but not the essence of it. They embrace it as a way of life but not the meaning behind it. My Christmas day was a very ordinary one since mom was hospitalized two days before so it's home and hospital.

Among the many headlines in today's copy of The Star, this one is relevant "Revelers turn rowdy in Penang; at least three arrested by 1am" - kind of. Along with that report are the pictures below, juxtaposed to show the different events held last night. Note the shiny props in the picture on the right are not Santa's hats nor are they reindeer antlers but horns.



No, not being judgemental here since I detest sanctimony too but churches should do more to share the real meaning of Christmas. I laud the move by some to hold dramas and presentations for the public. Guess I need to do more myself too. So, different interpretation of the meaning of Christmas. One commemorates the birth of Christ (of course it isn't on the 25th of December) and another calls for booze and party on the streets.

For a good read, head on over to here.

Be blessed with love and peace, people! Blessed Christmas!
