My previous post was almost all about food, I shall attempt to rectify that in this post. No, Teresa's mind does not consist thoughts about food,maybe only about 80%...just kiddding..hahah.

Like I said earlier, Christmas just came and went..poof,just like that. It does not make it any less meaningful though. I love Christmas..as do I am sure many other people. But sometimes I am guilty of loving it for the wrong reasons. Such as the presents, the mood and the nostalgia of the whole festival. I didn't get alot of presents la, neither did I give many come to think of it, I couldnt really be bothered to squeeze in with thousands of other people trying to get their last minute christmas shopping done. My favourite present is from MB, a cookbook by Nigella Lawson How to be a Domestic Goddess, a box of very melt in the mouth Royce chocolates from aunt aubrey, a few knick-knacks here and there. And oh yah, my mum sponsored my haircut. I chopped off my hair finally and decided not to perm it again. I feel so much more light-headed now, literally.

But presents aside, Christmas is really about celebrating Jesus's birthday, the day he came down to earth to die for us. We are the reason that he made this sacrifice, that today, we might have what we have. What I said about finding my identity. It's really about being secure in Him and his love instead of worrying how other people see me. I used to be really insecure and have somewhat of an inferiority complex. But now, I know who I am and I am secure in that love He has for us. I am so glad we have a reason to celebrate christmas..
