I wrote a Facebook note two years ago, when I was a senior in high school, entitled Happy Birthday, Jesus. I'd like to share that note with you.
Happy Birthday, Jesus
Happy birthday, Jesus. Over 2010 years, you came into this world. You were born in a manger and you gave this world hope. You came to be a hero in this dark, sinful world. You were born to die. You lived a perfect life. You were innocent and yet you were spit on, beaten, and eventually crucified. You forever changed this world. You paid the ultimate sacrifice for us all and you gave us all something that we don't deserve. So let us celebrate and rejoice this Christmas, and take time to remember your birth and what you did in this world. And what you continue to do in this world. Jesus, you have changed my life and I strive to be more and more like you everyday. Thank you for this day, and thank you for rescuing us.
To all that are reading this, may you have a wonderful Christmas. I hope you truly take time to think about why we celebrate this day. Here are some lyrics I want to share with you:
"And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let You know how much You've touched my life
Because here is where You're finding me, in the exact same place as New Year's eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I want to be
And the first time
That You opened Your eyes did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever
And so this Christmas I'll compare the things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
In the hope that what You did
That you were born so I might live
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray for You to save my life"

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And so that's my note from two years ago. I hope you liked it! I'm not going to waste any more time with this, and I'll just let sit in your head. Here is that Christmas song I was talking about:
