5 Days Before Christmas

~<>~ Uhhh...h. Well, yeah xmas's here or rather just coming. And first of all we need to know is "What is christmas?". Christmas contains different meanings, and I got some of the children's meanings for CHRISTMAS.

Christmas means laughing and spending time with your family and friends but most important of all is celebrating the birth of Christ.

Christmas to me means spending time with those you love and who love you. It's not about presents as a lot of kids think. It's about enjoying the time you have on this Earth. But most importantly it's about forgetting those bad feelings you might have about someone and celebrating the birth of Christ, Jesus, with the world no matter who you are.

Christmas, to me, means a great deal to me. To me,Christmas is the most special time of the year. Why?? Well, I'll tell you why, because it's the day Jesus was born. The day the heavens opened up for man-kind and other generations. That's what Christmas means to me!!.

For me Christmas means to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and it's a time to thank the Lord For What he has done for us in this earth and that he was born in Bethlehem. And it's also time to forget all worries and the hatred that you have against people.

~<>~ People do many things for xmas. Really many. And here's just sum of the BASIC.

>>> Preparations & Decorations <<<
Xmas is truly a season of rejoice and happiness. Preparations like food, drinks, and the house for visitors will always be present to make xmas feel more like xmas [duh.]. And, as usual, the decorations like xmas balls, xmas lights, xmas flowers, xmas lanterns, and don't forget the EVER~FAMOUS xMAs TRI!. These decorations lightens the xmas, gives it mroe color, more beautiful, and make it more presentable.


>>> Gift ~ giving <<<
Xmas is also a season of sharing. And when its xmas, the first thing that comes in ur mind when u hear the word sharing will be gifts. And so, people ready for gifts in many ways, such as gifts in socks (never dies), gifts under the xmas tree, and also teh famous Santa Claus giving gifts to good children. Gifts gives xmas and other people the sudden feel of specialty, belonging, and certainty that u luv them.

>>> Wish List <<<
Yeah and those wish lists would never leave xmas. Xmas wish lists are kinds of lists that contains ur wishes, favors, wants, thatyou create in order to fulfill it, or some people just give it to other people for a favor or request. Wish lists makes xmas more exciting because children would always like to create ones that contains toys and stuff.

~<>~ That's all from this post, MAY GOD BLESS U ALL.

Twilight Saga Covers

~<>~ The BOOK COVERS of the Twilight Saga books, really have different meanings, though some of them are really not by Stephanie, and so some of them really contain no meaning at all. OH, I know its hard to understand, but be reminded that its not that easy to explain...



=+= First of all the books is "TWILIGHT". As you can see the cover of Twilight is a hand that holds an apple. The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." Stephenie used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because she loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology—look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, Stephenie loved the beautiful simplicity of the picture.

=+= The second book is "New Moon". The flower is a ruffled tulip. The apple cover has a lot of meaning to Stephenie, but she did not pick the New Moon cover. Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not. Covers, for example. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments. What the tulip means is unknown

This is stated at the Twilight FAQ:

"That is a ruffled tulip. As for the meaning... If you've read the Twilight FAQ, you know that the apple cover had a lot of meaning for me, and I was an active part of the covering process. However, that experience is more the exception than the rule in the publishing world. Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not. Covers, for example. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments. So I don't know what the tulip means—I didn't have anything to do with this one."

=+= The third book is "ECLIPSE." The cover of the Eclipse [I mean the ribbon cut] was also chosen by the publishers instead of Stephenie Meyer herself. So the definite meaning is unknown, but I personally think that the torn ribbon represents how Bella is torn between Jacob and Edward, just a thought.

=+= And the 4th book would be "Breaking Dawn". The cover of the Breaking Dawn represents a pawn and a queen, both at a chessboard, means sumthing. The red pawn indicates the ~OLD~ Bella, weak, fragile, human, and the red color means filled with blood. The white queen means the ~NEW~ Bella; strong, hard, marble-like, and pale. In short the pawn resembles Bella being the weakest character or player in the story and ends up being the queen or the strongest player in the book.

Bella+Edward vs Bella+Jacob

~<>~ My View ~<>~

BELLA+EDWARD



At my own perspective, I really prefer Edward for Bella than Jacob [Jake]. Coz, u know, TWILIGHT's really main thing is a vampire thirsting for his lover's blood, or FORBIDDEN LOVE [with the front cover of twilight, I mean the apple thingy.]. Twilight doesn't concentrate on a human [I mean Jake, coz at the Twilight book, Jake's still a human, after all] to be in love to another human. [I mean Bella]. What I just wanna say is Twilight is famous for it's love story of a vampire and human's, as I read it, and even though Jacob might turn into a werewolf in the next books, it just makes it more complicated, so, If u really go for risking Bella's life, then you might as well, just risk it with a vampire [Like Edward]. RIGHT?!. Well, IT JUST MAKES SENSE.
