A letter from Jesus

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year
there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration
will be repeated.

During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are
many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the
world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer. It
is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people
think of me.

As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago.

At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did
for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the
celebration.

Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't
know the meaning of the celebration. I remember that last year there
was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious
foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were
exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts.

But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited.

I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an
invitation.

The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside,
they closed the door in my face .. and I wanted to be with them and
share their table.

In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all
close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the
party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner.

They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling
jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time.

To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white
beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the
sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa
Claus" as if the party were in his honor!

At midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms
waiting for someone to hug me and do you know no-one hugged me.

Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one
with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe,
there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody
shared gifts and you did not get one?

I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember the gifts, the parties,
to eat and drink, and nobody remembers me.

I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life.

I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years
ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to
save you.

Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.

I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their
party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one
has ever imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making the final
arrangements..

Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for
you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation
for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book.


Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party.

Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside. Be prepared
because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.

See you soon. I Love you!

Jesus

Hello Marion

What a beautiful and humorous way you have found of reminding us of what we are celebrating at Christmastime!

In Spain, we give our children their gifts on the twelfth night - or day of the Three Kings, which symbolizes the day they cam to visit baby Jesus bearing him gifts.  Yes gifts for the children.

How on earth Christmas has turned from a joyful, generous and giving celebration to be shared by all, into the massive plastic commercial consumer feast that it now is, is beyond my comprehension.  Is running up large credit card bills and debts to buy the bigger and better piece of technological hardware for another adult, or the most modern toy as seen on TV - anything to do with peace and goodwill to all men?

Have we all gone mad?

If Jesus could see the billions of $$s spent on advertising products to aid the celebration of his birth and peace to all men - I wonder what he would say?

Sincerely,
Jenny

Thank you for sharing that piece.

I am happy to say that my family does not shut the door in Christ' face. We thank the Lord in his name at our dinner table, and my children know the true reason for celebrating Christmas. They also know the story of St Nicholas aka Santa.

St. Nicholas should not be forgotten either, for he is the Patron Saint of Children. I am sure that his contribution to Christmas was not meant to be a distraction from Christ.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
