My Little Christmas Wishlist
0 Comments Published by Kevin on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 at 9:53 PM.
The 3 simple things that I want this season:
1. Kelly Clarkson's "My December" album (which I already bought last Sunday)
2. Lois Lowry's "Gathering Blue", the sequel to "The Giver" (which, after weeks of getting numerous bookstore 'Wala po's, I've finally found and bought just today)
3. Passing grades of the college exams I took, especially the UPCAT and the ACET
So much for being a wishlist. I posted this so late, that I already got the items for myself. All that's left on the list is the last one. Good luck :P
P.S. Just in case you didn't get the memo, for whatever was to be revealed today... Check out the previous post.

A page off Campus Journal 2002 edition, entry for December 24 by Cindy Kasper
It's a common crime around Christmastime. We almost expect to read the headline when we open the newspaper: BABY JESUS IS MISSING . . . AGAIN.
He disappeared in the early evening right outside a shopping mall. The area was well-lighted. The animals were close by. Mary and Joseph stood guard. The shepherds were just outside with the sheep.
Sometime during the night, someone slipped into the stable and took the little baby away. How can we have Christmas without Jesus? It kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? How are you going to have a birthday party without the guest of honor?
At first, frantic pleas went out to the community: "The nativity scene is incomplete without baby Jesus! Please bring him back. We miss him." But after a while, everyone calmed down.
"Let's give gifts to each other," one said. "Cool. Here's my list," his friend replied.
"Here have some fruitcake," one said. "What, are you nuts?" his friend answered.
"Anyone up for walking through a winter wonderland and decking the halls with boughs of holly?" "Sure, if our socks get wet, we can hang them up by the fireplace."
"Let' sing. Does everybody know 'Jingle Bells'?"
Sometime during the night on December 25, the thief, having a guilty conscience, came back and placed the baby in the manger. But no one noticed.
Actually, the adjustment had been pretty smooth. Maybe no one needed a Baby in a manger. Everyone seemed to get through Christmas just fine without Him.
End.

I was browsing through my old books the other day, and then, I rediscovered this story. The article is obviously outdated, but the message is timeless. A merry Christmas from my family to yours! May we not forget the real reason why we gather together and celebrate :)
And about that thing I was talking about in my previous post, well, it comes out earlier than expected...
