The Greatest Gift of All~

Last year, my sister Emma wrote a beautiful Christmas poem I thought I'd share with y'all...


The Christmas colors- red, green and white,

The smell of the cookies,

The soft candlelight.

The land is adorned in a white crystal gown,

The cold air is sharp,

The season’s spirit all thru the town.

Gifts will be given,

Songs will be sung,

And above the hearth,

Stockings will be hung.

Children shall wait for

St. Nick to appear,

Then sit up all night,

Till his sleigh bells they hear.

But hark! Do not forget-

That on one starry night,

Angels did rejoice,

Oh, what a glorious sight!

For there in a stable,

Our Lord was humbly born,

The babe, the Son of God

Did come to earth that morn.

They laid Him in a manger,

And placed Him in a stall.

The little Savior- bless Him,

The greatest gift of all.

Merry Christmas, and remember the reason for the season!
