Christmas
mugs of
spiced apple cider
egg nog
hot chocolate
peppermint tea
sleepytime tea
crocheting links into a future cap
made to warm a loved ones ears
and necks and temples
snowflakes dancing all around us
big snowdrifts like sand dunes
ice crystals and icicles
frost on window panes
tree branches covered in glassy ice
school cancellations
new toys
family
everybody you love in one room
coming home
christmas morning
cold toes on wooden floors
sneaking in to peek at what santa brought
children staying awake to hear santa on the roof
mama saying she heard jingle bells when she went outside
on christmas eve and reindeer snorting
but they were gone before she could get a good look
God made Christmas
he made it for You and For Me
Christmas is God's Gift to all his Children on earth
you can't help feeling giddy on christmas
the sun shines clearer on christmas day
there's a magic in the air that noone
can quite explain a tangible magic in the air
Christmas is one of the Most Wonderful things in Life
Remember, Jesus bought us the gift of christmas
he paid for it with his crucifixion what a price
so enjoy his labors to save the world because he gave
his life for you and me, and they brought him myrrh at his birth
because they knew he was the one to die for our sins
think of the baby in swaddling cloth that was crucified!
What a price to pay!  What a gift it bought for the world!
Merry Christmas!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
