Christmas morning would come After a long sleepless night All four of us girls up at 6.am. Before the sun would shine her light We had to make sure Mom and Dad were up Before we ran down the stairs Anxious to see what he brought And what was put in our stockings with care Running down the staircase Turning the corner we would see Presents surrounding the bottom Of our brightly lit Christmas tree Before we could rip them open And play with all our new toys Mom would tell us to wait… Until she woke up the boys It would seem like forever that morning The minutes would grow very long We weren’t allowed to get started Until we sang the special song Kneeling down by the small manger, We would bow our heads and pray We would give thanks for all we had Then a family of eight would sing… “Happy Birthday” |

what a lovely story about Christmas.. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Aw, Bethy, This is so beautiful. I'm so glad that I could give you such happy memories. When we all sang "Happy Bithday to Jesus", it was to remember the true meaning of the day. I'm glad that my little lesson worked. Love and hugs...Mom Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Lady, Your poem reminded me of our family tradition. On Christmas Eve our family would always go to the children's mass at our church and at communion time the children would march to the altar singing "happy brithday" and carrying a birthday cake. My children and I still go to this mass on Christmas eve. It serves well to remind children and adults as well the true meaning of the day. Wonderful job. Best |

Beth, This is a very beautiful rehearsal of Blessed Christmas past- the stuff fond memories & close family ties are made of. Thank you for taking the time to share these cherished memories with us. Hope this Christmas also is touched by it's own specialness. David To put together words & rhyme--and touch a life--is so sublime! Thank God for such precious contact! (D.L.White) |

I can still remember family Christmases just like this... and what a warm feeling. Family traditions are so much a part of this holiday, no matter what they are. Dont let go of them. This poem was beautiful and heartwarming. -shira |

Beth, What wonderful Christmas memories! A Christmas pointing to the true reason for our celebration, anything less resembles some pagan custom or tradition! Thanks for keeping Christ in Christmas!
