'Tis the season to be jolly?

Are you really happy during Christmas?

Are you happy because it is Christmas, but unhappy after Christmas or any other season?

Can tinsel and presents, carols and candy really bring happiness? Not often, and not much. And if our happiness is based on circumstance, is it a true happiness? Isn't it just a playful escape, a temporary delusion? Does a little thin paint on the outside eradicate the rust beneath? Do cosmetics on a corpse make the death go away?
(quoted from Jim Elliff)

(Well i tried acting happy before too, and it made me feel more terrible at the end of the day).

Do you know what you are singing when you leap to Christmas carols like 'Joy to the World'?

Well Christmas may not be the season to be jolly for many hurting people out there, BUT it is the R E A S O N to be jolly.

Find out why here.

*My dear friend, I bless you to be able to sing and swing to 'Joy to the World' after experiencing true joy. =) *

Just stopped by to wish you a very beautiful celebration of the birth of Christ and to thank you for the many times you have encouraged me with your comments.

May God give you a joyous day as you celebrate His love.
