Oh yeah, Its Christmas time. Time to write about my dreams of Christmas usual. Last year I had a white Christmas and a dream came true. I never though I would be able to have a white Christmas (not as a tourist). Now this time, it can be a brown Christmas since there will be no snow in Sri Lanka. But most of the time that is the type of Christmas I used (may be not the one dreamed though).
Here I am in Washigton DC (IAD) transit and thinking of writing something on the blog to pass some time and also I had very little sleep lat night. Anyways I will start on some fascinating thoughts to just get started ( I will write on my complete dream later as usual for this Christmas).
I know and many convey the message that earthly things do not matter for the days of advent but for me those things are also need (may be not as important as spiritual values) to enjoy the life given by God. From my childhood I liked watching Hollywood movies during Christmas time with that theme. I liked to see Christmas decorations, business and excitement shown in those developed countries during Christmas time. Shopping, decorating trees and homes, singing in the malls, carols, etc. The environment and feeling during that season are the ones that I liked the most and now also.
I do not know what is that feeling we get during Christmas time. It may be the influence of marketing strategies together with the snow flakes of the season that makes a whole new world of dreams even in Asian countries where we see no snow at all. Actually if I think abit more, it wasn't the environment/climate where Jesus was born. But now when we hear about Christmas, we think of snow, decorations, shopping, food, etc. It is good that people enjoy life but we should not forget that the most important of all during the advent time is that we spend some time with God and find time to get closer to him and feel his love. That is the important of all.
And for me with that I want to feel my dreams coming true during Christmas time as well. To be continued.....
(need to catch the flight :) )
