I Celebrate The Day

And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey:
If only I could find the words to say
To let You know how much You've touched my life

Because here is where You're finding me,
In the exact same place as New Year's eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I want to be

And the first time
That You opened Your eyes
Did You realise that You would be my Saviour?
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever?

And the first time
That You opened Your eyes
Did You realise that You would be my Saviour?
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever?


And so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here

To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
In the hope that what You did
That you were born so I might live

And the first time
That You opened Your eyes
Did You realise that You would be my Saviour?
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever?


To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me

And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray
For You to save my life

Holidays Are Coming

OK guys, I've written to Colca Cola about the lack of the "Holidays Are Coming" advert, and I hope that the much loved advert will be back on our screens very soon. You can help however - get yourselves on over to their web-site and get voting!

It's really strange that Coke have such control over us, and that changing an advert causes such uproar, and that we don't feel like it's Christmas until we see it, but sure, I've decided to embrace it. Also, I'm sure you knew, cause you're intelligent people, but the reason that Santa is red, is all due to Coke! The power of advertising, huh!

Also, if you're on Facebook, join the group:

Name:
It isn't Christmas until the Coke advert is shown on TV

Description:
Holidays are comin,Holidays are comin,Always Coca Cola!Those words, on the snowy, festive advert, signify the beginning of the christmas period. Until the advert is seen on TV it just doesn't feel like christmas.Ok, it appears that the advert has been changed for this year and the theme no longer features. However lets give it until nearer Christmas as Coke may pull it out of the bag!! If not then boycott Coke, FOREVER!!

See you very soon!

Advent

Well Christmas is approaching - horrah! This year, instead of exchanging presents, Mhairi and myself decided to swap home made advent calendars instead. Please see a picture of one of these masterpieces below:

Also, when you think of Christmas you think of snow and ice, so a trip to George Square's ice skating rink was a must. It was great fun, and I wasn't too bad considering I haven't skating in quite a while. I still haven't mastered the backwards thing though, no matter how much I stick my bum out. Maybe I'll have to again before Christmas to get some more practice?


And with the snow and horrible pre-Christmas weather, another natural activity is to run around in large boiler suits and masks, through the squelching mud and over rain covered ground, chasing 'brown team' people to shoot them with paintballs - maybe not? Well, that's where we found outsevles on the 2nd December for Ewan's birthday. Another great day, and the bruises live on to remind us of it. Here's a wee photo of the troops:


Until next time!
