Christmas 2004


 
 

Christmas

Christmas comes but once a year,
To build our hope and dry our tears;
In a manger was born the light,
Our Savior was born on this night.
 
Trees and wreaths and the candles' glow,
Are only there to let us know;
Jesus was born to peasants poor,
And we need to open our door.
 
The door of our hearts should open wide,
For, in our hearts, He will reside;
The child of Christmas saved us all,
The big and small, the short and tall.
 

Christmas is for girls and boys,
And it fills my heart with such joy;
This child has done so much for me,
How can I not be filled with glee.

So put up your tree filled with lights,
Light your candles on this night;
Share your gifts with friends you love,
And give glory to the Son above.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love all of the decorated trees, wreaths, houses. I love the glow of the Christmas candles.....the way mankind seems to finally find time to help out his fellow man. Christmas seems to be a time when old wounds are healed and joy fills the faces of all children. Christmas programs, hot cocoa and Christmas baking are in the air. Such joy is felt at no other time of the year. This is sad because the Lord is with us at all times and this joy should always be in our hearts. Merry Christmas and keep Christmas with you through all of 2005.
