Hello friends,

I can't believe that it is Christmas already!!! Where has the time gone? Before you know it it will be the year 2008!!!

There is alot of nice Christmas stuff on the web. It was tough deciding what to put on this page. We tried to keep it simple, but as you can tell, we kept adding stuff. There are many links for you to enjoy. There are even Christmas stories, poems, jokes and tales. We hope that you can find the time to visit all the wonderful Christmas pages here.

A Christmas Prayer

Dear Father

It is Christmas time again. Help me this year to "season" the
celebration with "reason." Teach me to plan with my family.
May I avoid the clutter that dims my vision and burdens my time.

Keep me mindful of my budget.
and help me to remember that a gift selected with love tugs for-
ever at the heartstrings. Shame me for past extravagance

Remind me to decorate in good taste, treasuring all of the past
blending it with the new, but holding steadfast to "reason."
Keep me, dear Father, from strain lest I stray from all thy

teachings. Guide me to the "light" of Christmas. Help me keep
a candle's flame of that "light" as a constant reminder of my
goal--eternity.

I pray for thy love and help, in the name of thy beloved Son
whose birthday we are observing. Amen.

Two things upon this changing earth can neither change nor end; the splendor of Christ's humble birth, the love of friend for friend.

The Meaning of this Day

When homes are gay with holly wreaths,
With mistletoe and pine,
While childish hearts sing out with joy,
In faith that is sublime.
While gala packages are heaped
Beneath the Christmas trees,
And snowflakes lightly flutter down
In twilights playful breeze.

While logs are heaped upon the flame,
While music low and sweet,
Fills halls and stairs and upper rooms
With joy that's most complete.
While festive boards are heaped with food,
And candles gleam and glow,
While greeting cards and messages
Come from the ones we know.

While many white-robed choirs sing,
While heads are bowed in prayer,
And tears escape, in loneliness
For one who is not there.
While all these things and many more.
Help make our season gay,
Let us remember, in our joy,
The meaning of this day.

10 Ways To Confuse Santa Claus

1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.

2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.

3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.

4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly.

5. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home.

6. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections.

7. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved. Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to your new house.

8. Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill.

9. Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with Easter eggs.

10. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us."

Your friendship is a glowing ember
Through the year; and each
December From its warm and living spark
We kindle flame against the dark
And with its shining radiance light
Our tree of faith on Christmas night.

A Christmas Legend

Christmas morn, the legends say,
Even the cattle kneel to pray,
Even the beasts of wood and field
Homage to Christ the Savior yield
Horse and cow and wooly sheep
Wake themselves from their heavy sleep,
Bending heads and knees to Him
Who came to earth in a stable dim.
Far away in the forest dark
Creatures timidly wake and hark,
Feathered bird and furry beast
Turn their eyes to the mystic East.
Loud at the dawning, chanticleer
Sounds his note, the rest of the year,
But Christmas Eve the whole night long
Honoring Christ, he sings his song.
Christmas morn, the legends say,
Even the cattle kneel to pray,
Even the wildest beast afar
Knows the light of the Savior's star.

The hour is swept and garnished;
The walk has been brushed, and the stair;
The crystal and silver are gleaming
But oh, is the Christ Child there?

Love so easily understands
What you can see is the smallest part;
You don't need Christmas in your hands
When you have Christmas in your heart.

Jell-O Christmas Trees
Use pointed paper cups for making lime gelatin "trees." Cut away paper when mold is firm and decorate with cream cheese or Cool whip.

Good Ole "Dump Cake"
Dump two cans of fruit pie filling, top with dry yellow cake mix, place pieces of butter across the top. Toss in the oven.

Snack Tree
Use a styrofoam conical form, cover it with green paper. Use toothpicks with vegetables and edibles, such as cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, grapes, cauliflower, green pepper, carrot slices, etc. to cover it. Serve with a dip.

Orange Sips:
Roll an orange between your hands till soft. Use a knife and cut an "X" in the orange. Insert a pourous peppermint stick in the "X" and sip away!
