Okay, I  didn’t just write this but I wanted to make sure I got something 
posted.   (I’ve almost 300 pages to go in that book and all I want to do is 
read it so  can’t think of writing.)

CHRISTMAS IS  ...



Christmas is snowflakes

That dance on the  breeze

And rest on the boughs

Of evergreen  trees.



Christmas is candles

In windows at  night

That speak of good cheer

With their gentle  light.



Christmas is Jesus

Who came down to  earth

As God in the flesh

When Mary gave  birth.



Christmas is presents

Piled under the  tree

To symbolize those

Brought by wisemen  three.



Christmas is candy

Homemade by mother

With  little helpers,

Sister and brother.



Christmas is pine  trees

Dressed up to the hilt

In sparkles and light

And  color and gilt.



Christmas is letters

You write out with  care

Because through the year

There's not time to  share.



Christmas is singing

Of peace and good  cheer

With fam'ly gathered

>From far and from  near.



Christmas is Santa

Who visits the  tots

Who've written wish lists

With crayons or  dots.



Christmas is eggnog

That many folks  buy

When elves are busy

And eight reindeer  fly.



Christmas is stockings

That Santa Claus  fills

With toys for the good

Little Jacks and  Jills.



Christmas is snowmen

That little hands  mold

When children are out

In the wintry  cold.



Christmas is magic

And mystery and love,

A  special season

Sent down from above.



For Christmas is  God

As a man-child born

To die on a cross

And raise up  one morn.



Barbara
