It is not to far to Christmas
When miracles come true
I watch the skaters fly as if they had wing
And the brightly lit stores
Gifts Santa Claus will bring

The days and nights pass quickly
As the snow falls to the ground
I ride in my sleigh
In a wonderland of Christmas sound

On Broadway there are people singing songs all around
In the windows people wait for Santa to come out of the chimney
Toy’s walk and puppets talk all on a magical Christmas Eve

The tallest tree in the town with colors and a toy train, what a sight
It is not far from Christmas on this wonderful site
It is hard to believe My Dad and I make a snowman
The best was ever made

When we come home Mom was making cookies
The best I ever had It may not be far to Christmas Yet one thing I did learn
If you have it in your hear Then you have it all year round

God sent me an earth angel
From His Kingdom above
Someone to care for me
And given with love

This Christmas Day God sent me a gift
A beautiful angel sent with a kiss
I am loved by a baby in a manger
His mother so near, I can feel them smile
On a glorious night, an earth angel
Which gave me so much delight

May The Lord bless people so much like me
May they each have someone to love,
So they can always be
Happy in heart and so much in their souls
That God in His wisdom,
Will gladly behold

God gave me an earth angel to love
To remember The Savior who came from above
In my heart and soul He lives
All of my days until Heaven I see
By His goodness and grace
This Christmas He gave an earth angel to me

Dear Lord,

At this time of season,
please open our hearts.

May we learn to be givers, not takers,
for only then can we feel blessed.

Make us instruments of your peace,
that peace might fill our world.
May your abundant mercy touch our lives.

May our hearts so give and so receive
as to expand to touch the stars.

May we learn to live with love,
that we might know of heavenly bliss
while still here on earth.

May the miracle of Christmas
be a miracle in our hearts.

Amen.

There’s something about Christmas
That brings special friends to mind.
For through the years they touch our hearts
by being warm and kind.

There’s something about Christmas
And the memories it brings
of laughter shared with special friends,
Times worth remembering.

There’s something about Christmas
And it’s spirit of good cheer
That reminds us all that
friendship is
A gift we share all year.

Christmas is a time for holly,
Wreaths and evergreens.
It’s a time to tell those near and far
How much they really mean.

A warm and loving message
Especially to say…
Sure wish we were together
On this Christmas Day.

But even though we’ll be apart,
Warm thoughts will keep you near,
Not only at the holidays
But every day all year!

Jesus, I celebrate your birth as I give presents to my friends and family.
When I decorate my house, my yard, my mailbox,
and anything that will stand still, Jesus, I celebrate your birth.

When my family gathers around the table and prays over the delicious Christmas food,
we celebrate your birth.
When I remember the sick and needy at Christmas,
Jesus, I celebrate your birth.
And now, Jesus, I celebrate your birth by giving you my life, what’s left of it.

I’ve been running it myself so it’s not what it should be.
Take me, clean me up from the inside out,
and make me into the person you want me to be.

Thank you that your forgiveness, grace and love are free.
I accept them now as your Christmas gifts to me.

Thank you for coming into my life as my Saviour and Lord.
I am saved, a child of God, and Jesus is my Lord.

Loving Father,

Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
That we may share in the song of the angels,
The gladness of the shepherds,
And worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake.

Amen

Dear Father,

It is Christmas time again. Help me this year to “season” the
celebration with “reason.” Teach me to plan with my family.
May I avoid the clutter that dims my vision and burdens my time.

Keep me mindful of my budget, and help me to remember
that a gift selected with love tugs for- ever at the heartstrings.
Shame me for past extravagance.

Remind me to decorate in good taste,
treasuring all of the past blending it with the new,
but holding steadfast to “reason.”
Keep me, Dear Father, from strain lest I stray from all thy
teachings. Guide me to the “light” of Christmas.
Help me keep a candle’s flame of that “light”
as a constant reminder of my goal–eternity.

I pray for thy love and help,
in the name of thy beloved Son
whose birthday we are observing.

Amen

God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let “Christmas Angels” speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Amen

And may blessings in bushels,
Abudant and rich
Light every path of your life.
