Christmas
is
Wonderful
Christmas
is
wonderful
and
Easter
is
too,
But
Easter
has
more
meaning
for
me
and
for
you.
God
gave
his
son
at
Christmas
which
was
wonderful
indeed,
But
it
was
Christ’s
atoning
sacrifice
at
Calvary
which
each
of
us
need.
Christ
came
as
a
baby
and
it
was
part
of
God’s
plan
For
bringing
salvation
to
every
woman
and
man.
Christ
grew
to
manhood
and
was
obedient
and
true,
And
went
to
the
cross
for
me
and
for
you.
God
sent
his
Son
because
of
his
love.
Christ
descended
to
Earth
from
Heaven
above.
He
gave
up
the
glory
and
accepted
the
pain,
It
was
for
your
sins
and
mine
that
Jesus
was
slain.
We
need
to
admit
that
we
are
sinners,
lost
and
undone,
And
gratefully
acknowledge
that
Jesus
Christ
is
God’s
son.
Ask
him
to
cleanse
and
forgive
us
and
make
us
brand
new
By
his
grace
and
his
mercy,
so
God’s
will
we
can
do.
Jesus
arose
from
the
dead--He
was
stronger
than
death.
We
should
thank
him
and
praise
him
with
our
every
breath.
He
ascended
to
Heaven
and
promised
to
return
some
day,
And
take
us
to
Heaven
because
he’s
the
Life,
Truth
and
Way.

Life's Christmas Tree
I heard this bell ring before
I so loved to hear its sound
Was rang only this time of year
Its voice in my heart bound
Speaking softly of a day before
When for man hope was found
Come to a manger in Bethlehem
Where men of wise gather around
Angels sing to God in the highest
Peace on earth, good will to men
And bring good news the Christ Child is born
To hear the bell ring again
And even now in older days
Is just as precious as then
With family and friends to enjoy
As a child I heard it when
Jingle bells and an open fire
Gifts beneath a lighted tree
Chestnuts roasting, sleigh bells ring
Filling our hearts with glee
But none is ever there to compare
What this child grew to be
His life to give for all of man
God's Gift beneath life's Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas
Silver bells and mistletoe
Laughter of a child
Pumpkin scents
Waft through the air
Bringing all a wistful smile.
Snow capped fields
And Cardinals, red
Holly berries bright.
Joyous carols sung by all
As stars shine forth God's light.
Street lights glow
As if to say,
"Christmas time is here!"
Lets celebrate the blessed birth
Spread some Christmas cheer.

Luster Of Christmas
Christmas time is upon us
Love is in the air
Christmas gifts and happy thoughts
Surround us everywhere.
Children's laughter tingling
As they dance with glee
Santa Clause is coming
Bringing toys for all to see.
What a joyous time of year
Families celebrate
Yet there are those who have no one
Their fun they must create.
So this time of year my friend
Please let us try to share
Embrace those people to our hearts
And let them know we care.

Home For Christmas
Winter hugs in a winter home
all glittered and sparkled with snow.
Its coming home on Christmas
and seeing old friends we know.
Its hugs and laughter and smiling faces
from the times when we were young,
and the cheer in resounding Christmas carols
as we remember how we sung.
The snowman with the corn cob pipe
guards the back yard piled with snow.
His carrot nose and coal black eyes
wait patiently for the show.
There's a turkey roasting in the oven
and butter cookies on a plate.
A glass of milk for Santa Claus
and children who can't wait.
Silver ribbons on golden packages
under a tree that shines with love.
Each decoration carefully placed
beneath the shiniest star above.
Coming home for Christmas
with all its memories dear;
remind me to be thankful for
each day of every year.

Christmas
Lights I love the lights at Christmas time,
They glow in colored strings.
They light the tree and eves of homes,
And brighten all our things.
<br>
They add a little twinkle to,
The children's eyes each year,
And also decorate the
nose,
Of Santa's lead reindeer.
Some lights can look like icicles,
Some flicker off and on;
While some will light the walkways and,
Will shed their light till dawn
And then the lights up on the tree,
Bring joy to old and young,
And light the room where families join,
Then Christmas Carols sung.
Yes, Christmas time brings joy to all,
And I'm so thankful for,
The lights and love and time we share,
Are gifts we have in store. ©James

We Celebrate Christ's Birth!
Christmas is not just buying toys,
For good little girls and boys,
Although some folks would like to make it so!
Christmas is Holy angels singing,
Their news of Christ’s birth bringing,
To shepherds on a hillside long ago!
Christmas is more than just a spirit once a year,
Or one’s being filled with kindness and cheer,
Even though this too should have its place!
Christmas speaks of a Babe in Bethlehem,
The only Begotten Son of the Great I Am
And His coming to provide amazing grace!
Christmas is not just a time to be jolly,
Or to decorate with mistletoe and holly,
And to string lights on a Christmas tree!
Christmas is a time of peace and goodwill,
And yes, remembering still,
That Jesus came just to redeem you and me!
So friend, let us remember,
As we celebrate each December,
The blessed Christchild’s birth,
That although contrary to the belief of some,
Real peace will only come,
When He returns to this earth!
