Cambodia Part 7 - 'Tis The Season to Be Jolly (25/12)

Merry Christmas! It was a very different Christmas, away from Christmas carols blaring on every shop's radio, beautiful Christmas lights, partying crowds, in general, the typical "Christmas feel" we normally get back here. In fact, it was a rather bland Christmas for me. It could be due to the fact that I fell ill and practically spent the day sleeping, yeah, that was sad. But I've learnt my lesson, to not be smug about my health 'cos that's when "retribution" will strike lol. But well, thank God for a very different Christmas this year. It really doesn't matter, whether it's loud and vibrant or peaceful and quiet, it doesn't change the fact that Jesus is the reason for the season.

During the bonfire which I only joined for a short while

We Are the Reason - Avalon

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
And all that I do every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
