It does not mean decorations, colorful lights, stars, cribs, carols, good food, greeting cards, Christmas tree, giving presents and Santa Claus.
It means God sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from our sins,
save us from eternal death and give us everlasting life.
This is what I understand.
WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS FULL OF FUN, FROLIC, JOY, PEACE AND HAPPINESS.

Hello Paul :)
Cochin is a very beautiful place. You will appreciate it fully only when you have lived in states like Madhya Pradesh - very hot and very cold and long stretches of barren land. Cochin is a heaven.
Have a wonderful time at Cochin and I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas loaded with fun, frolic, joy, happiness and peace :)
Hi Susan :)
The name of my blog is LIFE IN MOTION and therefore I have a camera with me always as I move.
Have a rollicking Christmas :)
Hi Joseph!
The snow has not cleared, and we're in the middle of another snowstorm which is expected to bring another 8-10 inches. Although, I think so far we've only gotten about two inches, and it seems to be slowing... So maybe we won't get that much more after all. My dad is supposed to be coming to our home tomorrow, so I'm praying that he'll be able to get here and then back home safely. We're going to give him rides with our truck, Lord willing.
It's 7:42 p.m. here right now. We were supposed to have a Christmas Eve service at our church tonight, but it was cancelled due to the weather.
Many blessings to you my friend, my brother, my blogging buddy! :)
In Christ,
Mel
Nice to see Christmas celebrated on the other side of the earth from me. Thanks for the interesting pictures. Perhaps all the glitz and froo-froo serves to draw attention to the reason for the holiday, and if folks will think of that reason only for a few seconds, it will be well worth it. Peace and love, Joseph.
Hi Joseph,
Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones! God bless. :-)

Hi Joseph,
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for bringing the joy of Christmas this last year in your moving stories, pictures and wisdom. You have shared this love of Christ all through the year and it is right that in this season I give you a big thanks, to you and to God, for his love.
God bless you Joseph, may this new coming year find you deeper in his love and I will look forward to see how he directs your course, and camera,
Fred
