Does It Ever ? ~*Marge Tindal*~ Does it ever snow in Bethlehem and did it on that night ? So if it didn't - then how come lots of people think that it takes snow to make a Christmas bright ? I need only the story of The Babe laying in a manger bed, to give me thoughts of the Christmas gift dancing in my head. A starry night in Bethlehem, eons and eons ago, lit by the warmth of angel's breath brings to me all the thankfulness my heart needs to know. Snowflakes falling or palm trees swaying can't make a difference you see. Only the sound of angelic surround singing that sweet Babe to sleep. Christmas for me is in knowing, that in a manger with cattle lowing, one special gift was placed our sins to erase when Baby Jesus smiled. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Nice. You're right. Jesus makes CHRISTMAS, no matter what or where the surroundings may be. Melton |

HI Marge, This is lovely, Christmas is about Jesus and the forgiving of sins and a new chance, some times with all of the hoopla you feel like they buried the true meaning, wonderfully beautiful, thank you for sharing. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

My friend...no truer words were ever spoken and you did it beautifully as I knew you would. That is why I throw fits when I see the word Christ taken out of Christmas and replaced with an "x". I love snow but I don't need snow to feel the warmth of this special day and this year I am treated to the love of our friendship as well. Hugs to you my friend. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

This was so true. I loved it........it's great! Another wonderful read!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

I love it! It almost never snows here in Texas at Christmas time. It never snowed in Southern California nor the South Pacific, where I was mostly raised, either. Let's not forget the reason for the season. God bless you for a wonderful poem! [This message has been edited by Interloper (edited 12-11-2001).] |

Lovely Marge. Yes, I was one of those who thought Christmas had to have snow but have dropped that childish viewpoint for the true meaning of Christmas. Loved reading this one. Love, Joyce |
