Christmas is now spent ..... gifts have been given and received
Food has been eaten.....carols have been sung
Merry Christmas greetings spoken and written - the day is gone
Colored paper and ribbon are now stuffed in a large black garbage bag
Decoration taken down and put away
A sliver of pie is left in the pie plate
The last of the turkey and dressing placed in the freeze for a January day
The house is quite
Gone are the guest and love ones that shared the Happy Day
Most of them having traveled many miles to be here with us
Christmas is a blessed day of the year
The birthday of our Lord
As I settle back into the days routine
I pray that I will keep Christmas in my heart each day of the coming new year
For Christ our Lord is not a babe anymore
He wants more of me than to worship Him as a babe and not for only one day
He wants me to worships Him as the King of King and Lord of Lord
To give my whole self to Him each day in the year
In July I sometime put my Christmas CDs in my computer and play
Oh, Holy Night, or It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
My silver haired honey thought I was nuts when I did that - we listen just the same
