According to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea to Mary, a virgin, by a miracle of the Holy Spirit. In Luke, the angel Gabriel visits Mary to tell her that she was chosen to bear theSon of God (Luke 1:26–38). An order of Caesar Augustus had forced Mary and Joseph to leave their homes in Nazareth and come to the home of Joseph's ancestors, the house of David, for the Census of Quirinius. After Jesus' birth, the couple was forced to use a manger in place of a crib because of a shortage of accommodation (Luke 2:1–7). An angel announced Jesus' birth to shepherds who left their flocks to see the newborn child and who subsequently publicized what they had witnessed throughout the area (see The First Noël). Ok, I think thats more than enough right? Got any questions just drop me a comment pronto. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! THANKS FOR THE WISHES!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! :D :) XD

In my previous post, I had mentioned that I will tell you all the true meaning of Christmas but before that, I would like to apologise for not updating on the Singapore trip. There were around 400 over photos and I am having a "great" time sorting them to upload to my blog.
Back to the topic. Christmas, what is it all about? Is it about presents, Santa Claus, Christmas trees, misltetoes? Well, all these are traditions created by humans. The true meaning behing it all comes from the word Christ, which brings the name of Jesus Christ. Notice that I did not use X'mas...It should not be X'mas because the X had crossed out Christ....Which literally brings no meaning... It is CHRISTMAS... xD It is said that Jesus was born 2000 years ago, but we are not sure about the correct date. So, we assume that it is on the 25th of Christmas. Ok, now lets go a little more in depth using the verses of the Bible :
