MERRY CHRISTMAS
(I'm feeling peaceful)
MERRY CHRISTMAS
When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow,
We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago,
And etched on vacant places
Are half-forgotten faces
Of friends we used to cherish,
And loves we used to know.
At Christmas I no more desire a rose,
Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled shows;
But like of each thing that in season grows.
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 all women, men, and children!
The Meaning of Christmas
Christmas is not about what one receives,
It is about what one believes,
Christmas is not about popularity,
It is about charity,
Christmas is not about watching tv,
It is about being happy,
Christmas is not about the present you get,
It is about the presents that you give,
Christmas is not about how lucky you are,
It is about making others feel like a star,
Christmas is not about who you hang out with,
It is about who you make a difference with,
Christmas is not about how important you are,
It is about how important your friends and family are,
Christmas is not about the size or number of presents,
It is about the thought of the presents,
Christmas is not about a popular toy,
It is about having joy,
The number of gifts you get does not say who you are,
The number of gifts you give says who you are,
Enjoy Christmas no matter how many gifts you get,
Togetherness is the meaning of Christmas!
The kings they came from out the south,
All dressed in ermine fine;
They bore Him gold and chrysoprase,
And gifts of precious wine.
The shepherds came from out the north,
Their coats were brown and old;
They brought Him little new-born lambs--
They had not any gold.
The wise men came from out the east,
And they were wrapped in white;
The star that led them all the way
Did glorify the night.
The angels came from heaven high,
And they were clad with wings;
And lo, they brought a joyful song
The host of heaven sings.
The kings they knocked upon the door,
The wise men entered in,
The shepherds followed after them
To hear the song begin.
The angels sang through all the night
Until the rising sun,
But little Jesus fell asleep
Before the song was done.
Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

The gifts enthrall, but the nicest present of them all is filling our thoughts with those who care, wanting our Christmas joy to share.
