As we enter in to the beautiful and blessed Christmas season, I would like to share with you some lovely Christmas poetry, along with a little background of a few of the favorite Christmas carols. I trust that they will be a blessing as you prepare your heart and home for "The Birthday of the King!"
Let us begin with this poem entitled "Christmas Cards" by Edna Jaques.
Perhaps it will inspire you to send a warm Christmas greeting today!
"How lovely are the sentiments contained in Christmas cards,
As well as dear, heartwarming scenes of snowy trees and yards.
They never change so very much, but who would want it so?
For Christmas seems to just belong to cedar trees and snow.
The greetings on a Christmas card are precious as a gem,
Because old neighbors and old friends send us their love with them ---
Warming our hearts with loving words, making us know that they
Are thinking of dear bygone times, upon this Christmas Day.
A holly wreath, a little church, a lovely lighted door,
Some carol singers in the street, the windows of a store ---
All these are part of Christmastime, like cake and mistletoe,
Because a card arrived today, and sort of told me so!"
