Today is Christmas! And I didn't go for carolling partially because I was somewhat sick, and also so I could go for Christmas service. Sorry to everyone in choir who was there at Sheraton. We sang many carols at church, including:
What Child is This,
The First Noel,
Hark the Herald,
O Come All Ye Faithful,
Angels from the Realm of Glory,
We Three Kings...

I was really sorry to have missed the Christmas party last night, but after hearing how they slept very late, somewhere around 5am or so, and seeing how some of them fell asleep during the sermon, I just laughed at them.

I love Christmas. It took some years for me to realise I don't really care about the presents. Because We need to know that the only reason why we celebrate Christmas is so that we can remember how Jesus Christ came to earth as an infant, and that He came to offer salvation to everyone who believes.

[ Jesus is the reason for the season. ]

It IS important that He came as a child. Imagine if you were God, in all your awesome glory and everything, then having to come down to earth as this helpless little baby who has to grow up among humans, who are by no means perfect in the least. And then he had to spend another 30-something years as a human. Yuck. It's like asking us to become like ants.

Plus, I dislike how people type / write "Merry X'mas". For goodness sake, X is usually used to represent something unknown. It's CHRISTMAS. It means Christ Come. Not "something represented by X" has come.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm really getting into DBSG. Includes watching music videos, asking random people for their music, watching whatever about them looks interesting. Gah.

Of the five, I think Youngwoong Jaejoong is the best looking. And this is because he looks girly. Really bishounen-ish. It's a bit sad though, that unless you're really good-looking, the only way to be good-looking is to look girly.

Or at least you can aim for 'cute'. Like Choikang Changmin and Xiah Junsu. I watched this tv show where they had mini DBSG, and the mini Junsu was cute beyond belief! And they look alike too!

Peace on earth and goodwill to men,
The Xuan
