Life on the Web

‘Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

Not even a mouse.

The children were snuggled

All safe in their beds,

While visions of Christmas gifts

Danced in their heads.

But what of the Christ child

Born an a shed

Naked and shivering

No pillow, no bed.

He was wrapped in a cloth

And laid down to sleep

In a feeding trough

With the goats and the sheep.

But without the Christ Child,

There would be no season

Of gifts and good tidings,

For He is the reason

We celebrate with joy and fun

It’s not Santa Claus

But Christ who’s the one.

He made Christmas possible

Because of his birth

God’s gift to us

His only Son come to earth.

And so we remember

And truly believe

The Wonder of Wonders

Was born Christmas Eve.

Happy Birthday Jesus
