Christmas Teachings

pre-Christmas poem for 2014 Making out my list while sitting in my room Thanksgiving is almost here and Christmas will follow soon. Thinking about the decorations that I plan on putting out Because decorating for Christmas is what I’m all about. I love to see the children s smiles and hear their comments too Of what they’re wishing for Christmas and what they plan to do. Most are dreaming of bicycles and toys of every kind While the parents are keeping track and watching every dime. We were once those same children who waited patiently To see what Santa would put underneath our Christmas tree. To children – Christmas is of toys and being out of school Yet they’re not being taught how Christmas came to be Of how a child called JESUS CHRIST set mankind free. If they was to take CHRIST out of Christmas There would be no holiday and children would have no gifts Or toys with which to play. The birth of CHRIST is the reason we celebrate this day The reason children get toys and the grownups kneel to pray. He was born in a manger in a bed made of hay when the three kings came They all knelt down to pray. He was born the king of kings of that there is no doubt He showed the world Love and Peace and that’s What Christmas is about? Love one another and share the Christmas joy This is what we were taught by this little boy. © LRAMS I
