Perhaps you are not familiar with the Christmas song "Ring the Bells". It is a fairly new one, compared to those old standards, but I really like the words:
Ring the bells, ring the bells,
Let the whole world know
Christ was born in Bethlehem
Many years ago.
Born to die that man might live,
Came to earth new life to give,
Born of Mary, born so low,
Many years ago.
God the Father gave His Son,
Gave His own beloved One
To this wicked, sinful earth
To bring mankind His love, new birth:
Ring the bells, ring the bells,
Let the whole world know
Christ the Savior lives today
As He did so long ago!
--- Harry Bollback (1958)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)
That is the ultimate gift! Eternal life! Certainly we enjoy giving Christmas gifts, but let us not, in the hustle and bustle of the holiday festivities, forget the incomparable gift God has given to us!

Very nice posting, Susie.
From my very limited understanding of Spanish, I do believe that Crescenet was trying to sell some sort of Internet Provider service, but I don't think we need his comment here, so I did delete it!
