its the time of the year

Christmas isn't Christmas
Till it happens in your heart;
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts.
So give your heart to Jesus,
You'll discover when you do,
That it's Christmas, really Christmas for you.

Jesus brings warmth like a winter's fire,
A light like a candle's glow,
He's waiting now to come inside
As He did so long ago.
Jesus brings gifts of truth and life
And makes them bloom and grow
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes, you'll know.

its finally hit me the other day when i was watching a group of deaf [i think] people performing outside the national library. it was for that "deaf-initely boleh" thing. looking at them sign through the song "O night divine" was strangely overwhelming. i have not enjoyed a christmas carol session as much as this one in a very long time.

and the song above really speaks of how i want to celebrate christmas this year. much as the hyped-up festivity is mostly non-religious, i believe the true wonder and joy of christmas has to come from a realisation in the heart.

more christmasy posts coming up soon:)
