> > > > 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 peple seemed to understand and

> > > > be thankful of all

> > > > that I did for them, but in these times, no one

> > > > 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 was not invited, I decide 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 great 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 12 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 pary and

> > > > quietly left. Every year it gets worse. People only

> > > > remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties

> > > > 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 you 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 invitation, will

> > > > be left outside.

> > > >

> > > > Do you know how you can answer this invitation? it

> > > > is by extending it to others whom you care for...

> > > >

> > > > I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party

> > > > this year...

> > > >

> > > > See you soon .... I love you !
