What's Your Favorite Christmas Song?

December is this Sunday already and since September, Christmas songs have been dominating mall music. Just thought of introducing to you my all-time favorite holiday music. This one is not that popular but it's full of meaning. Lyrics right below, scroll down for a video of my favorite rendition of Mary, Did You Know?

“Mary, Did You Know?"

(originally by Mark Lowry (lyrics ) and Buddy Greene (melody ))

Mary, did you know

that your baby boy would one day walk on water?

Mary, did you know

that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know

that your baby boy has come to make you new?

This child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know

that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary, did you know

that your baby boy will calm the storm with His hand?

Did you know

that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?

When you kiss your little baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.

The deaf will hear.

The dead will live again.

The lame will leap.

The dumb will speak

The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know

that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?

Mary, did you know

that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?

Did you know

that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?

The sleeping child you're holding is the Great I Am.

Need Help on Your Starbucks Planner Sticker Card?

Good news! Starbucks has announced that with every planner redemption, a donation would be given to Typhoon Yolanda victims. Here's a screenshot from their website:

Now on to the post:

Starbucks Philippines started their planner promotion early November. If you already have your card and you drink a cup of coffee a day, you would almost be halfway by now. Chances are, you've already asked your friends to help you with your collection. Getting your planner before December starts is actually easy as I have already claimed 2 of them, with the first one I have given away as a gift. Read on to view some tips to get yours faster. Before your favorite color runs out.

1. Consider getting a Starbucks Card and load it with P5,000.

The cards are free and you earn rewards practically every time you use them. If you really go to Starbucks before and after the holiday season, you should consider getting one. In any case, you would use money to get more stickers for your 2nd planner.

2. Go to Starbucks with friends. It would be very likely that at least one of them wouldn't mind giving their stickers to you.

3. Treat your family or friends for coffee. With a loaded card, you wouldn't feel the pain that much since you would also think that you're getting stickers, stars, and a good conversation.

4. You probably wouldn't do this but I have seen people with highly sensitive hearing approach a customer that isn't collecting to ask for their stickers. It is after all, the season of giving, and begging for some. If you can do this, good for you. Run fast as stickers cannot be issued anymore after the transaction.

5. Do not think of the cost of your drink. Stickers are free and you get full value of what you pay for when your receipts get stamped. Just be really careful of where you store your card.

It also helps if you have a coffee buddy, Plus a family who likes going to Starbucks.
