The Yuletide Season...

As my church pastor once said....Christmas is a time of giving and sharing. Christmas is also a time for joy and happiness. Meeting up with family members, relatives, frens whom I've not seen for quite a while, etc. This year was no exception.......well, almost.

First the joys of the season. Two highlights. One was my annual family Christmas dinner with all my relatives. It was an evening filled with food, fun, family carolling (with me as the guitarist), and the traditional present giving. Second highlight was the nite before that. A dinner meeting wif my poly fren, whom I've not seen since after our final exams in poly; so this was our first meeting in, like, 4 years. We had dinner @ NYDC, followed by coffee @ a bistro. In between, we spent quite a while catching up with each other. Truly enjoyed ourselves dat nite.

But by the same token, this year, I also have to be realistic and understand, that not everyone is in the Christmas spirit. Some frens I know have lost loved ones. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to them in this time of trial, that God be with them to lift their spirits up, that He may give them the strength to go thru this period of mourning.

To one and all, for all the right reasons.......Have A Truly Blessed Christmas!!!!
