In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

This is the day. We can be happy. Our savior is born.
Our savior is a newborn child. So small so innocent. Thats the sign. When we see a newborn baby we know whats the greatest in earth. Thats the birth of a new baby.
We have all been such a baby. We are all born in a manger or a castle. It doesnt matter. We are all equal.
We have Love as our Father. God is Love.
We can be happy if we have someone to share the happiness with. If we are alone its hard. Try to find someone who is alone and bring him to your house and celebrate christmas with him. He will be happy.
The worst is to be alone on christmas eve. But you are not alone. God is together with you.
Jesus is in your heart and he is behind you and in front of you and perhaps everything look like Jerusalems destroyment. It doesnt matter. You are not alone. Jesus is at your side.
What have you done in your life. A lot of misbehavior.
It doesnt matter. Jesus have taken away your sins. He did it in easter. And he was born again. He is born again in the dark part of the year. He is born every year at the same time.
Be happy a savior is born for you.
Dont fear. There is no greater force in the universe than Love. Also for you there is a cosmic love and it will be together with you your whole life.
It doesnt matter if you are baptised or not. God loves You.
The greatest gift for christmas is to recognize that Jesus loves you. That means that you are able to love yourself.
You can be happy. If you are tormented in the flames like Lazarus dont give up. Continue praying.
Never give up. There is a light in front of you even if you cant see it.
Money is a strong force.
If you have no money what can you do. You can do nothing. Get a job. You cant. But there is always something you can do. Pray to God. Talk to God. And if you have a bible you can find an answer. Look at the Psalms. There is hope for the poorest.
You have a gift. A spiritual gift that noone can take away from you.
You have the Love from God. And if you never have been in love the day will come. You dont know anything about the future. Everything is in the hand of Life. And we do not know whats going to happen.
But sooner or later you will meet God. The strongest power in the universe. God is the universe.
Look at the sky. Smile to the sky and the sky will smile to you.
Pray to God and he will listen.
Merry christmas
