Already?!!

Christmas already!!








I know it's early, But since I head back to Forster on Saturday, Timmy was gracious and let me decorate his flat early :D
Some of the best fun I've had in a long time.



Laura then came out and we had a whimsical chat under the christmas tree lights. Over the course of the conversation Laura mentioned "Gee I wonder where the whole idea of the Christmas tree came from..."
To which, (due to last years research) I was able to say..."Well actually..."



















This launched into a big discussion about How commercialised Christmas has become and how sad it is that just spending the holidays with Family and friends just isn't enough for some people anymore.
God sent his son to earth, the greatest gift we could ever hope for, that son walks as man, completely man (yet without sin) he lives a life of worship and justice, and then he dies the death of a sinner, all so we don't have to live as the scum we earnt the role of. Instead, we can live in righteousness and walk out in victory...
...And yet, after all of that, after the greatest gift has already been given, knowing that no gift can ever possibly surpass it,... sometimes....just sometimes we still manage to get lost in the chaos of a commercialised christmas, a christmas that tells us we have to get the BEST presents, the BEST decorations, The BEST of everything, or else christmas is crap.
...
Well let me just say, that I think thats crap.
...
It's times like these that I'm reminded why we are enemies with the world, So in my loyalty to J.C. I'm going against the world on this one...

This year, all I want for Christmas are my family and friends...and maybe some photos to remember it by.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder...

I love you guys, enjoy the holiday season, Theres a birthday to celebrate!!
OH!!...




and let yourself get silly once in a while.
