CHAPTER 12, PAGE 22

CHRISTMAS IS…

Christmas is a time of love,

A time of joy and cheer.

Christmas is a peaceful time,

That wondrous time of year.

 A time of faith, a time of hope,

Of friendships much more true;

Christmas is a joyous time

When love shall come to you.

Christmas is a little child.

It's tinsel shining bright,

Frosted windows, snowy lanes,

Candles in the night.

It's Santa Claus and dreams come true,

So much that gladness sees;

It's holly wreaths and silver bells

And star-tipped Christmas trees.

Christmas is a place called home...

A door thrown open wide;

A crackling fire all aglow

And loving hearts inside.

It's happy faces, shining eyes,

Soft music in the air;

It's tissue, ribbon, cards to write

And secrets everywhere.

Christmas is a lighted church...

The very nicest part,

Believing in a special way

A prayer that fills your heart.

It's friendliness so much more real,

A blessing from above;

Christmas is the special time

We greet the folks we love.

GOOD MORNING !

OPPS, I see that I put the entry for my ON THE BRIGHT SIDE JOURNAL in this one last night. (see entry below)  It was about midnight and I don't do well after 9:00 so please forgive me.  

DS#2 and family got here about 7:30 yesterday evening and I gave them all dinner and DD and her hubby came by then we just sat and visited and caught up on all the news.

Today I've got to make a few things for tomorrows dinner and we may go to the Cleveland Zoo and see the Christmas lights there this evening.  It will be a fun thing for the grand'babes' to see.  We'll just have to see if it quits raining first.

I'll be taking pictures for you all today and put them in the journal tomorrow ! 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Christmas Time...

When people want their pasts forgotten

And their presents remembered!

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

Peace, dear friends,

Christmas love without end.

MA
