Christmas Day

Dear my beloved page...

Long time no see... Well, I'm sorry cause I've been so busy about my college and I don't have enough time to write on this page... So, please forgive me... :)

Well, today is the day of joy, the day of Christ, and it's Christmas Day!!! I am so happy that finally it's Christmas again... I am free to eat Christmas cookies and coke as much as I can... I have a great Christmas holiday here in Manado... I got my new dress (but not new shoes -- it's not a big deal!)... And most of all, I can spend my Christmas holiday here with my whole family... It's like a great Christmas gift that God has given to me... Sounds *lebay* though... but I do feel happy about that...

This Christmas is a little different with the other Christmas day... Because this is the first Christmas day in Manado without my grandfather... As you know that my grandfather has passed away on April 2010... It feels kinda different, especially for my grandmother... But, praise the Lord, that it doesn't lose our joy to celebrate this Christmas day... The most important thing now is that we are all together to celebrate this day... and then... the other thing which is different from the Christmas days is that, we celebrate this Christmas with a new family member... that is my cute little cousin, "Stefani Gracia Papente", a 3 months baby girl, who was born on September 2010... We all love her so much, because she's soo cute! and she's the youngest grandchildren now in our families...

Well,, many things that make me feel so happy about this Christmas, and this feeling just can't be explained with words... I can't stop thank God for everything He's done to my family on this Christmas day... For me, Christmas is not about the new things, or the cookies and coke, not even about the Christmas tree or the presents... It's about the joy, the happiness, and the love that I feel in my heart because The Savior, our Jesus Christ, was born to this world to save the world! HE is the reason we celebrate this day, and HE is the reason we are happy and joyful about the Christmas Day... So, how about you, everyone???

Christmas Day is absolutely a very special day for me, for us, and for the whole world! God shows His Amazing Love for us in Jesus... That's why we share more and more love to each other... And I do want to share the happiness inside with you (refer to my sweetest blog)... Let's Love More and Share More... :)

And the last, this is my Christmas prayer for this year... :)
