blestrella I think about the past when I connect some happenings of the present to what I believe were influenced by the past. There are indeed lessons learned from the past. What we did in the past spells our present and what we do today spells our tomorrow.

blestrella Both days are holy and glorious. For me, EASTER is more meaningful because it represents JESUS' triumph after so much suffering. He has risen from the dead. Christmas is the start and Easter is the culmination which reveals GOD's glory all the more.
