Yesterday's Xmas Carols

Its uber late today again. Just that some thoughts flowed thru my mind as me and CBLC frens came out of paragon after our Din Tai Feng dinner. There was this performance outside paragon. It was a unique combination of xmas carols and hand signs as choreagraph of the song. I smelt a strong Christmassy smell in the air. Xmas trees, shopping for pressies, costume parties, well wishes.

But the song that was performed but the hawaiian Christians struck me hard. What really is Christmas all abt? The song wasn't abt presents and xmas trees. It was abt Jesus's crucifixion on the cross for our sins. Suddenly, I remembered. It was a day Jesus was born. The very day he began his torture journey on earth for our sins. After watching "The Nativity Story" with Jastinian on my bday, I became clearer how it was like when Jesus was born. He was being hunted down even before his birth because being the Son of God, he is a threat to the king.

I looked at the expression of the performer as he performed with conviction, I remembered that my savior. After his performance, he stayed still for a while, with his hands raised, looking into the sky, i heard some ppl laugh. Perhaps they didn't know, he was silent for a while, praying and standing in awe of his savior, who is mine too.
