As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday.
 Every year there is a celebration in my honor
and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated.
During this time there are many people shopping for gifts,
there are many radio announcements, TV commercials
and in every part of the world everyone
is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
 
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year,
some  people think of me. As you know, the celebration
of my birthday began many years ago.
At first people seemed to understand and be thankful
of  all that I did f or them, but in these times, no one seems
to know the reason for the celebration Family and friends
get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know
the meaning of the celebration.
 
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor
The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits,
assorted nuts and chocolates The decorations were exquisite
and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts.
But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited.
I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me
an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came,
I was left outside, they closed the door in my face....
and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
 
In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years
all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to
enter  the party without making any noise. I went in and stood
in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were
drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything.
They were having a grand time. To top  it all, this big fat man
all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room
yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all
the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" ?
as if the party were in his honor!
 
At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other;
I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ...
do you know ... no one hugged me.   
 
  Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one
with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if,
maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday
everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that
I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
 
Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink,
the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this
Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that
you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came
to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today,
I  only want that you believe this with all your heart.
 
I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to
their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party
that no one has ever imagined, and a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out
many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know
if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write
your name with golden letters in my great guest book.
Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't
answer the invite will be left outside.
 
Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.
 
I love you!

Jesus
