Outside a Church on a cold winter's night There's a Nativity Scene underneath a bright light In the cold, trying to tell a wonderful story, you see The true meaning of Christmas it tells to you and me Many years ago, in the Bible we're told God sent His Son this earth to behold He sent Him to Mary to have as her son She knew before He was born, this babe was God's Chosen One As Mary and Joseph on this long journey went She got very tired carrying the One God had sent So they tried to find a room at the inn No rooms were left, a night in the hay, they'd spend Born on that night, was a little baby boy His name was Jesus, He brought them much joy Wrapped in swaddling clothes, was the little Christ child And put in the manger to rest for a while God sent angels to watch over Him Keeping them safe, was His plan for them There came three wise men, traveling from afar To worship the Child born, they were led by a star This is the start, as unfolds the story Of a Saviour sent to earth, from His place in Glory The true meaning of Christmas, seen on a cold winter's night The blessed Nativity Scene, under a bright light |

(smiles) Oh Ethel, this is lovely, sweet friend, I remember this so much and cried reading it imagining the boy Jesus and the light shining upon Him! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all wish you the merriest Christmas, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thank you, Ethel. As long as people continue to tell the story, the meaning should never be lost... |

The most wondrous of all the stories of our culture, lovingly and craftily told. Well done. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

the magic of the christmas story retold. i enjoyed the read. i think you should break the rhyming couplets into four line stanzas though. with it being so clumped, i almost got lost. still, flawless rthythm and nice read. -chris. |
