~* Christmas In Our Hearts~*


Don’t be sad if you only see a few presents
because each gift was picked from the heart,
you know things aren’t as easy this year
alas, I have known this from the very start.

It might not really seem like that much
but for this year, it will just have to do,
because it’s hard when things get tight
but sometimes, we do what we have to do.

NO, don’t be sad for the holiday season
if we don’t end up with the perfect tree,
for if you will just look a little bit deeper
there are much more important things to see.

It may not feel a lot like it’s really Christmas
although people are spreading holiday cheer,
but don’t worry my precious little child
Santa couldn’t forget one so beautifully dear.

Christmas is a wondrous, magical time
even when things might seem sort of amiss,
but don’t forget there is Mistletoe and Holly
and the reason behind all of this Christmas bliss.

The days seem to be quickly counting down
but child don’t worry, please have no fear,
there’s still going to be a Merry Christmas
because it happens each and every year.

It doesn’t matter if there aren’t lots of presents
stacked up neatly under the Christmas tree,
we’ve already received the greatest gift
God’s already given it to you and me.

So do not worry my precious little child
if Christmas is to quickly drawing near,
because here in this home of our hearts
my dear, Christmas is already here.


For April....with my love
~always...

It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...

And, this Donna is where the spirit of Christmas really is.
A beautiful piece...a keeper indeed.

(smiles) Awwwwwwwww, this is the perfect Christmas gift for April, sweet friend, I understand how she feels as when my little sister had her 10th Christmas, she felt broken-hearted that she was growing up and may never get to cherish Christmas again and I said that it is always in her heart everyday and she has the heart to give and share it always and she'll always be the little girl at heart! (angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, happy holidays to you and April, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes, you say it with touching words. The most precious gift is the gift of love.
Love and Light. ... and Merry Christmas.

Thank you for posting this Donna.  There are
many who are struggling through the holidays,  
and they need these words as much as anyone
else...  A beautiful write.
