Christmas, 'my child, is love in action.
Every time we, love~ every time we give,
it's 'Christmas.
Dale Evans Rogers

Two things upon this changing earth can neither
change nor end;
the splendor of Christ's humble birth,
the love of friend for friend.

As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations,
compounded by December's bad weather,
it is good to be reminded that there are people
in our
lives who are worth this aggravation,
and people to whom we are worth the same.
Donald E. Westlake
***
The hour is swept and garnished;
The walk has been brushed, and the stair;
The crystal and silver are gleaming
But oh, is the Christ Child there?
Lela Bassford
***
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son
is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulders;
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, the Mighty God,
the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
***
Yea, Lord, we greet thee Born this happy morning...
Son of the Father Now in flesh appearing.
Oh come, let us adore him...
Christ the Lord.
