It is a time for Ho, Ho, Ho's and Fa, La, La's.
Find a spot in the parking lot,
Get your claws in Santa Claus,
Rudolph roasting on an open fire.

The Christmas wish, is the Christmas list.
Checkout lines, the smell of pine,
All you can eat, The Miracle on 34th street,
How much should I spend, on family and friends.

Lonely hearts, grieve in the dark,
Mourning, on Christmas morn.
The hush of snow, and mistletoe,
Let all things you dismay.
Brightly colored lights, all lit at night
feeling empty after Christmas day.



Here's another picture of my backyard.
See why I always write about nature? *smiles*

What is the Spirit of Christmas?
Christian version

Candle-lit rapture with timeless hymns,
reclaiming peace in suffering times.
It is the Light of God embracing us all
transforming known reality
into spiritual joy.

It is a time for the world
to relive and celebrate
the gladness of shepherds,
the three wisemen, angels rejoicing,
the Star of Bethlehem, and
the miracle of God clothed into flesh.

It is Isaiah's Word becoming truth,
Heaven marrying earth,
truth turning into love,
the greatest love story ever told.

It is a time when mourning hearts,
along with hungered troubled souls,
can reclaim peace and compassion,
with heartfelt thankfulness,
quiet confidence and gladness.

It is a time for us to bow down on our knees,
surrendering our souls and admitting sins
with total openness and immeasurable love,
to Jesus Christ, the Son of the Highest,
knowing we are all saved by faith.
