With This Candle

Where there is light, there is hope. Where there is friendship – peace and truth. Christmas is a time for celebrating the special people in our lives. When I cannot find my way, I light a flame. And at Christmas . . . I think of you.

Christmas Countdown

Each evening when goodnights are said, Take off one link and hop into bed. When only the star is left to shine, When you will know it’s Christmastime!

Christmas

Christmas is snow Christmas is light Christmas is home and candles bright Christmas is a present under the fir tree Christmas is love sweet love, sweet love.

Christmas

Christmas is more than a day in December It’s all of those things that we love to remember Its carolers singing familiar refrains Bright colored stockings and shiny toy trains Streamers of tinsel and glass satin balls Laughter that rings through the house and its halls Christmas is more than a day in December Its the magic and the love That we’ll always remember M.E. Miro

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Isn’t it fun To say “Merry Christmas” To everyone? Time for a party And presents and things That make children happy And give their hearts wings!

Making Memories

Christmas is a time of joy, A time for love and cheer, A time for making memories, To last throughout the year.

Christmas

Every time a hand reaches out To help another….that is Christmas Every time someone puts anger aside And strives for understanding That is Christmas Every time people forget their differences And realize their love for each other That is Christmas May this Christmas bring us Closer to the spirit of human understanding Closer to the blessing of peace!

The Joy of Giving

Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you; And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart’s possessing Returns to make you glad. John Greenleaf Whittier

Christmas Bells

I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I’m a Little Reindeer

I’m a little reindeer, Ready to fly. I’ll pull Santa’s sleigh Up in the sky. Christmas is here, We can’t be late. All the children Just cannot wait!

Untitled

The funniest face looked out at me From a silver ball On the Christmas Tree! At first I thought It was Santa’s elf, But I looked again and It was just myself!

Christmas

Carols and candles aglow in the night, Hearth fires blazing all cozy and bright, Red-leaved poinsettia, white Christmas rose, Ice skaters whirling on ice as it snows, Sleigh bells and Santas, Tinsel-trimmed trees, Mistletoe magic and warm memories, Angels all bringing glad tidings anew, Season’s best wishes especially for you!

Christmas Lights

Bright Christmas stars shine on high, Golden stars in the wint’ry sky; Christmas candles in windows bright Send s greeting into the night; While in our hearts the Christmas flame, Glows with a love like his who came, The infant Christ of lowly birth, To bring good will and peace to earth. by Marie Irish

A song was heard at Christmas

A song was heard at Christmas To wake the midnight sky: A saviour’s birth, and peace on earth, And praise to God on high. The angels sang at Christmas With all the hosts above, And still we sing the newborn King His glory and his love.

Christmas is forever

Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

The Christmas Story

Once upon a time, A long, long time ago. Begins the story of a baby, That most of you should know. His daddy’s name was Joseph, And Mary was His mom, This babe was very special He was God’s only Son. Some angels came from heaven, And they began to sing. To the shepherds in the fields below, “Glad tidings do we bring!” A bright star lit the heavens, To light the magi’s way, To the baby in the manger Who was born on Christmas day. And all who gathered round Him, Rejoiced and praised His birth. For the babe, the King, named Jesus, Is our Saviour here on earth! by Leanne Guenther

Christmas Bells

The singing waits, a merry throng, At early morn with simple skill, Yet imitate the angel’s song, And chant their Christmas ditty still; And, mid the storm that dies and swells By fits, in hummings softly steals The music of the village bells, Ringing round their merry peals. by John Clare

Christmas Candles

When the Christ-child comes again Softly down the street to-night, Twinkling through the window pane Let our candles shed their light. Though the clouds are dark above And the golden stars are dim, We can tell Him of our love If we set a light for Him. Oh, the blessed Christ-child dear, In His robe of shining white, Let our candles give Him cheer As He passes by to-night!  by Evaleen Stein

Santa

Santa comes on Christmas Eve Seeking those who yet believe Through a frosty winter night In a sleigh with reindeer flight Bringing joy to large and small Merry Christmas one and all.

The First Gift of Christmas

The first Christmas gift ever given Wasn’t bought in a mart or a shop, And it wasn’t encased in gay wrappings With a bright ribbon bow on the top. The first Gift of Christmas was given In a manger lowly and bare, And a blanket was the lone wrapping Of this gift so priceless and fair. God gave the First Gift of Christmas, A most Holy and Wonderful One, When He looked down in mercy And gave us the Gift of His Son! by John Gilbert There’s More to Christmas There’s More to Christmas… There’s more, much more to Christmas Than candle-light and cheer; It’s the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all the year; It’s thoughtfulness and kindness, It’s hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding And for goodwill to men!

Santa

Two merry blue eyes A very little nose A long snowy beard And cheeks like a rose A round chubby man A big bulging pack Hurrah for Old Santa We’re glad he’s come back!
