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 great 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 you 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, 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> invitation, will be left outside. Do you know how you can>
answer this invitation? it is by extending it to others whom> you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you to attend> my party this year...See you soon
