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.
Oren Arnold
At Christmas
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime.
Edgar Guest
'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Clement C. Moore
By using the light of Christmas
to guide us through the darkness of the coming year,
refusing to go back to the dim kerosene lamps of the spirit
when the brilliant electricity of Christmas
is available to show us the way.
Wilferd A. Peterson
It came without tags,
It came without packages, boxes, or bags.
Christmas can't be bought from a store...
Maybe Christmas means a little bit more.
Dr. Seuss
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
Irving Berlin
I heard the bells, on Christmas Day,
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A favorite time of year
For all who are dear
A time for love and peace
A time for all fighting to cease.
Catherine Pulsifer
God made Christmas happen;
friends make Christmas beautiful;
music makes Christmas festive;
giving makes Christmas joyous;
love makes Christmas complete.
William Arthur Ward
What comfort by Him do we win
Who made Himself the price of sin
To make us heirs of glory?
To see this Babe, all innocence,
A Martyr born in our defence:
Can man forget this Story?
Ben Jonson
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.
Norman W. Brooks
(this is one of our favorite short Xmas poems it contains wisdom in its verses)
May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love.
Ada V. Hendricks
O Father, may that holy star
Grow every year more bright,
And send its glorious beams afar
To fill the world with light.
William Cullen Bryant
Christmas a time for children
That is for certain
But for others
It is time to love your brothers.
Catherine Pulsifer
Do you believe
Or do you feel deceived
I hate to tell you
But Santa is for real
And he is a big deal!
Catherine Pulsifer
by Byron Pulsifer
I sat there in the gloom
In that vacant room
Waiting for the one
Who would come down with a boom
You know the one I mean
He always comes with a gleam
He is big and bold
But he is also very old.
I cannot wait much longer
Although it is longer
I cannot keep my eyes open
Even though I am a hopin.
He better come very soon
Or I will slide into gloom.
Oh wait, I think I hear
The special noise from a reindeer.
Oh boy, I think I know
He is sliding quickly on the snow.
He is here, I can feel the glow
Soon I will smile with a glow.
Thank goodness I waited till now
If not I'd probably sleep with my pet cow.
Down he comes with his belly a flopping
Now I can close my eyes without flopping.
By William Arthur Ward
Christmas is more than a time of music, merriment and mirth;
Christmas is more than a time of gaiety, greenery and gifts;
Christmas is more than a time of tinsel, trees, and toys;
Christmas is more that a time of festivities, family, and friends;
Christmas is more than a time of carols, cards, and candy;
Christmas is more than Santa, stockings, and surprises;
Christmas can be the end of fear, and doubt;
Christmas can be the end of selfishness and strife;
Christmas can be the end of pessimism and cynicism;
Christmas can be the end of emptiness and waywardness;
It is a season of mediation, managers, and miracles.
It is a season of wonder, worship and wise men.
It is a season of preparation, prayers, and peace.
It is a season of generosity, gladness, and gratitude.
It is a season of dedication, direction, and decision.
It is Christ, caring and concern.
The beginning of faith and hope.
The beginning of love and good will.
The beginning of belief and trust.
The beginning of happiness and purposefulness.
