Christmas Holiday

Remembering The Real Meaning Of Christmas

Yuletide is such a lot of fun, especially for youngsters. Making snowmen and sniffing mince pies baking in the cooker on Xmas Eve ; skating and sledding and delivering Xmas gifts and cards to mates all over the area ; Secret Santas and twinkling lights ; woolly hats and dragging a Yuletide tree home to be decked in dozens of sparkling tree toys and chocolates and candy canes. In the thrill of Xmas celebrations and the rituals of present giving and food shopping, it is easy to forget the occasions that Xmas is meant to mark : the arrival of Christ ; the visitation of the 3 Kings ; the Star in the East ; the humbleness of the birth of the boy of The Lord God in a straightforward stable.

For regular church goers, the season of Advent is noted with community socials and special services to help remember this time of the year is about anticipation ; the celebration of Jesus and His arrival on earth ; His life ; His love. The lights and the fairies and the Xmas pudding are all glorious it seems a shame to forget Whose birthday it truly is in all the confusion. Xmas gifts are so copious and specialized these days that it's feasible to select a thousand mixes of the same electronic widget in a rainbow of colours and styles to suit every taste.

Attire and pretty underclothes are packaged so deliciously, tempting us to spend on this and that. Gorgeous gift boxes promising erotic perfumes ; delicate skin and a great few hours pampering in the toilet. Who wouldn't be bewitched by the selection of lovely feel-good gifts on offer this year? Do we actually need it though? Do we positively have to have the newest game widget or the most fashionable scent to feel loved? Do we feel even barely guilty when we shower our friends and family with expensive and trivial foolishness?

A Christian Xmas present can imply so much more and still bring a warm smile to the face of a friend this year : something that remembers the arrival of Jesus ; something suggestive ; something permanent. As we set our Yuletide table with towers of fruit and flowers and whoop with delight over the lights and the tinsel, remembering our Christianity and the real meaning of Christmas might be better voiced by giving Christian Xmas gifts suitable to the occasion.

Christmas Holiday $12.99 For Christmas, Charley Mason's father granted him a trip to Paris, all expenses paid. It should have been a lark, but on his first night Charley meets a woman whose story will forever change his life. For Lydia has seen tragedy.

And for reasons that elude Charley, Lydia pines for a man half a world away--a dope dealer and murderer whose sins Lydia seeks to absolve through her own self- destruction. Haunting, erotic, deeply effecting, Christmas Holiday explores two souls capsized by compassion--and the confusion that engulfed a generation in the days between the Great Wars.
