What does Christmas Mean to me?
It’s bright lights, and candles, a trip to the Christmas tree farm
It’s hot coca -marshmallows and a fire crackling in the fireplace
Christmas is a church choir
The phone ringing and one of my boys asking, “Is it all right if I charge
momma’s present to you.”
It means passing cars with Christmas packages up in the windows as
families go visiting
It’s kissing kinfolks, some you want to kiss and some you don’t
Christmas just means so much to me.
Plenty of goodies laying around the house-
It’s the utter pandemonium that is Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve, and the
peace of the still quiet house once all the young’uns are final in bed
It’s working with Wesley House, the Advent Fair, Stop Hunger Now,
Christmas at the Cain’s, the Christmas Eve Candle light services, and all the
other things we do at Central United Methodist
It’s my boys coming home and asking” Daddy can we do Operation
Shoebox can we do it daddy, can we?”
Christmas is the expression on my boys’ faces as they filled those boxes
with stuff their money bought, put the lid on them, and sent them off
What’s Christmas? It’s helping other people know the love of Christ, that’s
the Spirit of Christmas. It’s great to be a Christian at Christmas time!
