When was Jesus actually born???? Do we know???
Most people believe it was some time on September during Jom Kippur. Did He ask us to celebrate his birthday??? No, He did not.
I do celebrate the fact He was born and died for me and for You, every Day, but not particularly in end of the Year. I do not celebrate Christmas.
What is the Christmas??? Why people celebrate during that time??? Have you ever known, or have You forgotten???
Natalis Solis Invicti
Main article: Sol Invictus
The Romans held a festival on December 25 called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun." The use of the title Sol Invictus allowed several solar deities to be worshipped collectively, including Elah-Gabal, a Syrian sun god; Sol, the god of Emperor Aurelian (AD 270-274); and Mithras, a soldiers' god of Persian origin.[11] Emperor Elagabalus (218-222) introduced the festival, and it reached the height of its popularity under Aurelian, who promoted it as an empire-wide holiday.
December 25 was also considered to be the date of the winter solstice, which the Romans called bruma.[8] It was therefore the day the Sun proved itself to be "unconquered" despite the shortening of daylight hours. (When Julius Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar in 45 BC, December 25 was approximately the date of the solstice. In modern times, the solstice falls on December 21 or 22.) The Sol Invictus festival has a "strong claim on the responsibility" for the date of Christmas, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia.[3] Several early Christian writers connected the rebirth of the sun to the birth of Jesus.[13] "O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was born . . . Christ should be born," Cyprian wrote.
Happy Holidays. More you can find from wikipedia.

Hold me
close to your heart
so close to your heart.
Just let me feel
being loved,
just being loved.
your arms
around my body
and pull me close
to your soul,
so close to your soul,
Let me not ever
feel being alone,
not being alone.

Just a look into your eyes
and I know your are mine.
My spirit melts into yours
and I know there is no force
strong enough to put us apart.
I do Love You.

Love is a power
so very strong.
It can move mountains
It can melt the stony hearts
from their ice.
Lord I pray:
Help us not to depart,
but instead make us come
closer and see each others
through your kind of Love.
Love that is patient
Love that is kind
Love that does not envy
never brags, or
looks for its pride.
Love that is slow to wrath
and never keeps records
of wrongs against friends.
Love that forgives never fails,
It can make the whole world to change.

Crucifixion of Jesus
- was done for me.
He has risen
from death, indeed
and so doing He broke
the yoke of death
and opened
The Heavenly gates.
Devil is defeated
- by the power of blood
That innocent,
pure lamb of God
was offered as
perfect sacrifice,
for the sins
of the whole world

Salt in the world

Separate yourselves and
get to stand outside.
Begin to follow seriously
Your Lord Jesus Christ.
Be the salt in this world.
If the salt becomes tasteless
what it is really a worth for?
Its’ no more, than to be thrown away.
That is what bible says.
It’s hard word, but so true.
Have you ever thought
how it is with you?
Are you still tasting salty
or has the taste become
in you as nothing?
Stand out from this world
and say, like said apostle Paul:
“Let me not see anyone else,
but Jesus Christ and even Him
as crucified.”
Be salt in this world.
Don’t let the world
become part of you.
Stand up strong and firm
for the God’s truth.

No matter
how long it takes,
if something is
in a plan of God for you
it will surely come on your way.
So why to worry for something
that is not meant to be.
He who looks from above
knows what is good
for you and for me.

I am fine
even If I cry,
because my Lord is
good all the time.
Cry is just a sign of emotion
My Lords Love for me is wide,
large and endless like an ocean.
So big that I can't understand it
with my little reasons.
His Love can wipe
away my tiers
and give me
forever lasting peace

A Prayer

You Have a peace in Thee.
You Have the Love I need.
You Have the wealth in You.
You Hold my future too.
Where would I go?
I do not know
any other place
than Calvary, where
I can have your grace.
I pray You to lead me.
I am too blind to see
the right direction.
I need Your help and protection.
I need ears to hear Your voice
eyes to see Your choice and
strength to do Your will, so that
You could use all my skills.
