Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hi, I would like to wish all readers and followers of my blog a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!. May God continue to bless you in 2009. The actual significance of Chirstmas is that Jesus was born on this day about 2000 years ago. It is a time of celebration for all Christians in the world. I actually fell sick two days ago with sore throat and cold. The sore throat is getting better now. My nose is quite blocked still. May see the doctor tomorrow. Need to drink more water and eat more greens and fruits. This morning, I attended the Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI) Christmas service at Taman Anggrek. Communion was part of the service as well. The worship session was good. It suprised me that the song by Chris Tomlin, How Great is Our God is sang here as well. At the end of the service, everyone receives a door gift containing a Breadtalk bread, a 330 ml Danone Aqua Drinking Water and a GBI 2009 Calendar. Of course, it is in Indonesian. Here are some of the Christmas songs and hymns that we normally sing during Christmas:

• Joy to the World
• Silent Night
• O Holy Night
• O Come All Ye Faithful
• Angels We Have Heard on High (Gloria.....in excelsis Deo)
• Hark the Herald Angels Sing
• The First Noel
• God Rest All Ye Merry Gentlemen
• We Wish You A Merry Christmas
• Jingle Bells
• Let It Snow
• Santa Claus is coming to town
