God's Son was born on Christmas Day To bring the world His love. In Bethlehem a manger blessed, The North Star shone above. Through mortal days Son Jesus spake The wisdom of God's Word; And to this day around the world, His voice mankind has heard. But Jesus knew at traitor's hand He would be crucified; And yet God's love, a gift for all Must ever be descried . Both far and wide then Jesus trekked, In search of giving soul Who'd share with all His gift of love; Quest led to the North Pole. He met a kindly toymaker Who smiled and laughed a lot... "Believe in me and share God's love, Your soul shall perish not." This jolly man called Santa Claus In heed of Jesus' call, Vowed he'd give toys each Christmas night To children one and all. So Jesus smiled upon this man - That's how this story goes. It's said His Star would light the way, Reflecting reindeer's nose. From that day forth each Christmas Eve The elves have packed the sleigh With toys and love in Jesus' name To bless our Christmas Day. |

Nan... Although I am not a Christian, I can see the beauty of this poem. Its a lovely way of de-commercializing Christmas ~ hugs from the Chanukah Chipmunk who came down the chimney and didn't get her rear end burned? BTW...how does poor Santa keep from getting fired up? Lyra |

I am hoping this goes to 24 by commenting as it needs to be seen this time of year by every single parent, then read to the children. |
