Once Upon A Child,
The world was freed from sin,
In a lowly stable,
Born in Bethlehem.

This Child was born of Mary,
Conception from God's breath,
His life was so miraculous,
Even in his death.

He gave sight unto the blinded,
Fed hungry-clothed the poor,
Gave wisdom to simple minded,
Taught us what our lives are for.

That's what God intended,
For us on Christmas day,
Give of ourselves and spread some joy,
To those in needing ways.

Think of what you have,
And of those that have much less,
Give from your heart this Christmas Day,
You'll truly feel blessed.

Remember the true meaning,
Not the gifts all stacked in piles,
The reason there's a Christmas
There was "Once Upon A Child"

May all of you have a very Merry Christmas/Holiday or whatever you believe in..may your upcoming year be healthy and prosperous..and again, I thank all of you for the well wishes you've expressed to me over this last year. I hope to spend another year on these blue pages with you all....

You sir, have a heart as big as Texas and I will indeed remember the reason for the season. I will be thinking of you down there in the warm of it and wishing you pretty girls under your "mistle-toe." Merry Christmas Toerag.

This is such a lovely Ode - one of the nicest I've ever read - and I send wishes from the heart for your health, well being, and a life lived in the arms of love -

Merry Christmas -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

This is one of my favorites... in part because of the beautiful words... in part because of the beautiful heart they're from. What a wonderful reminder of what matters... may that once ago child heal your body and spirit, my friend... and grant you the very happiest of new years.
