• Santa?

      The beautiful acts/dances/songs, the joyful faces, the birthday cake for Jesus, the jolly little kids, the newborn babies, the welcoming smiles and hugs. *sigh* I missed it . I’m glad to be back in Vegas.

      Last night, when “Santa” went on stage to give gifts to the children, I noticed that their gifts were empty shirt boxes. I figured out later that it was because they were already wearing their gift (a sweater) for their Christmas performance. That reminded me of my first run-in with Santa Clause.
      I remember sitting on his lap thinking, wow, Santa is Asian? When I asked my parents, they told me that Santa could be whatever he wanted. – And yes, I believed them.
      To my dismay, when I opened the present at home, it was… a toy that I already had! No, not the same KIND of toy, but the same exact toy! It was already mine and it was rewrapped! So I asked my parents about it. They told me that since I had been naughty, Santa had taken away my toy but since I was nice…he decided to give it back. I remember thinking… Ugh how cheap. I hated Santa. Ho Ho HOAX. (haha- i know..my jokes are corny)
      Anyway, now I know that it was because my parents were financially limited and they didn’t want to buy another gift for my brother and me lol.

      But…I was thinking. Santa gave them all empty boxes… and me a toy that I already had. Jesus…gave me his life. Yet, Santa gets much more attention than Jesus does.
      To me, Christmas is about Jesus’ birthday. It’s called CHRISTmas for a reason . If you ask me why I celebrate Christmas, it’s because I received the greatest gift of all from Jesus Christ and for Him, I’m thankful.

  So, MERRY CHRISTMAS~!!!! Happy Birthday Jesus

  The song attached is a freestyle about.. Santa and Jesus. My brother did the piano playing, I did the voice. This is back in 9th-10th grade when I couldn’t even say Jesus lol. It’s funny. If it offends anyone, sorry , not intended to do so.
