We won't have a Christmas this year, you say
For now the children have all gone away;
And the house is so lonely, so quiet and so bare We couldn’t have a Christmas that they didn’t share. We won’t have a Christmas this year, you sigh, For Christmas means things that money must buy. Misfortunes and illness have robbed us we fear Of the things that we’d need to make Christmas this year.

No Christmas This Year
Snowflakes softly falling upon your window play, Your blankets snug around you, into sleep you drift away. I bend to gently kiss you, when I see that on the floor There's a letter, neatly written, I wonder who it's for. I quietly unfold it making sure you're still asleep, It's a Christmas list for Santa--one my heart will always keep. It started just as always with the toys seen on TV, A new watch for your father and a winter coat for me.But as my eyes read on I could see that deep inside There were many things you.

A Child Shall Lead Them
Dear God,
This is such a busy time of year. People are traveling, finishing up year-end business records and reports, visiting friends and family, celebrating Christmas and the New Year. I pray that during this time of preparation and cheer, you will cover us with a blanket of protection. I pray that you will grant safe travels to those who are driving, riding, flying around their neighborhoods, across the country, and throughout the world. I pray that you

A Prayer For The Season

Dear Santa, Love Mom
I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned, and cuddled my two children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor, sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground and figured out how to attach nine patches onto my daughter's girl scout sash with staples and a glue gun.
I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in..........
.At Christmas time there was a man who looked so out of place as people rushed about him at a hurried sort of pace. He stared at all the Christmas lights, the tinsel everywhere, the shopping center Santa Claus, with children gathered near. The Mall was packed with shoppers who were going to and fro,
some with smiles and some with frowns and some too tired to go. They rested on the benches or they hurried on their way, to fight the crowd for purchases to carry home that day.

Each December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience. But once again, despite my plans, chaos prevailed. I had cut back on nonessential obligations-- extensive card writing, endless baking, decorating, and yes, even the all American pastime, overspending. Yet, still, I found myself exhausted, unable to appreciate the precious family moments, and, of course, the true meaning of Christmas. My son, Nicholas, was in kindergarten that year. It was an exciting season for a six year old filled with hopes, dreams and laughter. For weeks, he'd been.............

A Christmas Letter
Dear Children,
It has come to my attention that some of you are upset that slowly but surely, people are taking My Name out of the season. How I personally feel about this celebration of My birthday can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. If you want to celebrate My birth this Christmas, the best gift for me will be that you all get along with each other. Now, having said that, let Me go on. If it concerns you that many of the towns in the country where you live don’t allow the display........

Ruth And The Visitor
Ruth went to her mail box and there was only one letter.
She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but then she looked at the envelope again.
There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address.
She read the letter:
"Dear Ruth:
I`m going to be in your neighborhood Saturday afternoon and I'd like to stop by for a visit.
Love Always,
Jesus".........

Who Started Christmas
This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children; after many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year - overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, get that..........

My First Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny light, like Heavens, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas Choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy the voices bring,For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing....................
