you know, every year cell does something for christmas, just like how we do for harvest events etc etc.
why dont we really try to have a proper cell christmas? it can be on a cell nite, or any other night. it can be in simon's place, or at someone's condo, or at a restaurant.
a proper cell outing. we can exchange gifts if we want, or just have turkey! or bak kut teh. or whatever. we can sing carols, or we can just yak all night.
a night to remember Jesus, of course, to celebrate what he gave us... joy.
sure it was for salvation that he died on the cross, but to what end is salvation, freedom, love etc... isn't it all about being happy, in the end? and the best sort of happy is being happy in Christ.
or, if we really just prefer to spend christmas as we normally do each year, then, sure. it wouldnt be any less meaningful. for most of us, christmas is about family, friends, church, a lot of things.
there is no right or wrong decision. but if we want to do this, then it's time to start planning from now.
