Like a chapter in a book,
Waiting to be written.
We can help write that story
By setting goals.

Another one; make the most

Of all those dreams!

Christmas, my child,
is love in action.
Every time we love,
every time we give,
it's Christmas.

you let God love others
through you...
yes, it is Christmas every
time you smile at your brother
and offer him your hand.

The joy that you give to others is the

Of ourselves that produces

Is to find your gift.
The purpose of life
Is to give it away.

My Christmas Wish for You…
My Christmas wish for
you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a Happy New Year, too
- Ruth Kephart
Christmas Is For Sharing…
I turned out
the lights and lit the tree,
Then settled back, just Rover and me.
The family is scattered here and there,
Christmas is lonely . . . but I don't really care.
No noisy unwrapping of gifts will I hear,
No stacks of dishes after dinner this year.
The lights flicker, the tinsel gleams,
The perfect Christmas eve, or so it seems.
Then at my door came a timid tapping,
Startled, I jumped, as though I was napping.
I opened the door and to my amazement,
A small crowd stood on my front pavement.
An old man, wrinkled and gray,
Stepped forward as though he had something to say.
We thank you kindly for having us
To share the joy your Christmas.
I stepped back and they filed past,
There were eighteen people, from first to last.
The laughter welled up as they settled down;
They looked at my face, and saw my grim frown.
You want us here, don't you sir?
Asked a child quietly, as they began to stir.
Well, I don't know, I started to say,
And then wondered, why not? It's almost Christmas day.
I had no turkey with them to share
So I fixed what I had - they didn't care.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, tuna casserole too.
I even served a can of Spam or two.
After we ate, they began to sing,
And suddenly, you know, it was the strangest thing -
The tree seemed brighter, the air more clear...
I began to fill up with holiday cheer.
I dug in the closet for discarded clothes,
For books and toys - I'd always kept those.
I handed them out, a smile on my face;
I really never had such joy in this place.
I settled them down - wherever - to bed . . .
A child's prayer was softly being said.
The lights on the tree reflected the glow
Of the happiest Christmas I'll ever know.
I awoke from the dream to find myself alone. .
I immediately jumped up and reached for the phone.
I dialed quickly, my heart beating fast.
The true joy of Christmas, I'd found at last.
You see, no matter how little you give,
It brings joy to those with no place to live.
So open your home and open your heart
Christmas is . . . the place to start.
- Poet de Vine

Christmas in my Hometown
Christmas from the Heart…
I heard your
voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.
I felt your touch in the sun today
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.
I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain;
It seemed as each raindrop fell
it quietly said your name.
I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete;
You may have died...but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.
As long as the sun shines...
the wind blows...
the rain falls...
You will live on inside of me forever
for that is all my heart knows.
- Judy Burnette
For it is in giving

Its other benefits,

From what we get,
But from what we

May all your dreams
Come true,
May love work its magic into
Your life,
May your heart be filled with
Hope and joy.
May you touch every life
You Meet.
Merry Christmas and a
Prosperous New Year.

Of the greatest pleasures,
And without friends even
The most agreeable pursuits
Become tedious.

Misers do their treasure,
Because, of all the things
Granted us by wisdom,
None is greater or better
Than friendship.

Speeches for your friends
Till they are dead.
Do not write them on their
Tombstones, speak them
Rather now instead.

Even when he has nothing
Much with him.

To the needy,
All that it will cost you
Is a little effort,
A little heart and

With those in need can turn
Around a life without you
Realizing it.
Encourage others,
Help out where you can,
Give an ear to listen,
And hands for help
Wherever you can.

There is a wonderful mythical law
Of nature that the three things we
Crave most in life…
Happiness, freedom,
And peace of mind…
Are always attained by giving them
To someone else.

I’d love to
spend this Christmas with the folks in my hometown
Just to have the gang around, friendly folks in my hometown
I long to see the candles in the windows glow so bright
And the Christmas Trees glitter in the breeze
Seem to say welcome home tonight
Christmas carols softly singing by the
Fireside all aglow, (fireside all aglow)
Children's laughter gaily ringing as
They battle in the snow (Oh-ho-ho-ho)
My heart is winging homeward as the snow comes fallin′ down
I’d love to spend this Christmas with the folks in my hometown
Christmas carols softly singing by the
Fireside all aglow, (fireside all aglow)
Children's laughter gaily ringing as
They battle in the snow (Oh-ho-ho-ho)
My heart is winging homeward as the snow comes fallin' down
Oh, I’d love to spend this Christmas with the folks in my hometown
Friendly folks in my hometown
