x'mas or christmas

x'mas isn't christmas till it happens in your heart...

 you went to the christmas celebration service to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, after all christmas is about the birth of Jesus

 and right here in the church, you celebrated christmas in the right context

 that God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. and that's the true meaning and message of X'mas Christmas.

 you join your friend for a christmas dinner after the service at one of the hotel in rotterdam.

it turned out to be a five course dinner with amuse bouche in between, so the dinner started at 7pm didn't finished till just about 12 midnight.  that gvie you a lot of time to catch up, chit chat and sharing with one another.
you sometime also got carried away by the festivities and the trimmings about christmas but really all you wan to say is happy birthday Jesus!
