I can't imagine Christmas in Heaven
The size of that Christmas tree
The Ornaments sparkle, and the lights are the stars that we see
Jesus is Santa to all the kids gathered around
Magnificent presents under the tree abound
Every Child receives the perfect gift beyond their dreams
The gift of Mercy and Love is the most popular, it seems
Angelic Christmas Carols being sung in the glistening snow
I hear O’little Town of Bethelem. I see their faces glow
No hustle and bustle at Christmas there
Majestic Golden Bells ring clear in the air
Christmas in Heaven lasts for an eternity
Thank You, God, for the hope of certainty

As time marches on, everything comes to an end
Things that seem eternal here soon transcend
The legend of Santa Clause and the love He brings
Moves into another realm where we hear children sing
His suit of Scarlet Red is now a suit of Pure Gold
For the Much Love he has given, he now holds
The fat Jolly Man in his red suit will remain in the hearts of children
Circling the earth, delivering Christmas Presents by the trillion
When time shall be no more and earth is complete
Santa and His Sleigh will fly through eternity delivering Presents of Love to The Little Children's feet

In the glow of Hanukkah lights so bright,
A festival of joy, a sacred night.
Judaism's ideals, steadfast and true,
In each candle's flame, a story anew.
Blessed be the Ruler of the Universe's decree,
Commanding us to light, to set our spirits free.
Rededication's tale, the Second Temple's grace,
Igniting flames of faith in a sacred embrace.
Each candle's flicker, a symbol so divine,
Echoes of history in every shine.
Blessed are we, in the light's warm embrace,
A celebration of faith, a journey in grace.

A little oil from the Holy Scriptures a little polishing from Faith and Grace
My internal compass will lead me far away from any dangerous place

In Advent's glow, candles aglow,
Hope's flame whispers a tale untold.
Peace follows, a tranquil stream,
Joy dances in a festive dream.
Love's candle, radiant and bright,
Illuminates the silent night.
Four weeks, a journey to behold,
Christmas whispers, stories unfold.

British tea cast adrift
In sixteen seventy-three, in Boston's embrace,
A protest arose, a bold act took place.
Colonists, weary of taxation's cruel sting,
Against British rule, in defiance, they'd swing.
December's chill graced the Boston night,
A harbor scene painted in revolutionary light.
No representation, yet taxes so steep,
Fueled a rebellion, no longer asleep.
Three hundred forty-two chests in the sea,
British tea cast adrift, a powerful decree.
No submission to acts that unjustly bind,
The Boston Tea Party, a mark on the mind.
An echo resounded through history's halls,
A catalyst brewing for liberty's calls.
In the lead-up to revolution's solution,
This act stood strong, a fervent contribution.

On December 7, the winds of fate did blow,
A date engraved in history's somber glow.
Infamy struck, a nation held its breath,
President Roosevelt spoke, declaring death.
In solemn words, a nation stirred,
Echoes of war, a call to be heard.
Through the pain, courage would rise,
A nation united, with tear-filled eyes.
Roosevelt's voice, a beacon strong,
In the face of darkness, a resolve prolonged.
A date remembered, in history's decree,
December 7, 1941, echoes eternally.

Sacrificial giving is something we can't understand
It's giving all I have and then lending a helping hand
It's going beyond my means to help in every way
Then, taking time time to give my
Love and pray
Thank you, God, for giving Your Love to me
That I might share with others that they may see

Hands of a man praying in solitude with his Bible.
Words seem pretty easy to say
Petitioning my God every day
Things I need, things I see and want
Truly, are they desires of my heart
Thanking Him for Many Blessings
Do I take time to feel His refreshing
Dear Lord, calm me that I might hear
Divine whispers that quieten my fear
In everything that I have said and done
I pray Your Will, and mine become one

In December's hush, a gentle plea,
Remember, it's Christmas, let it be.
Not just an 'X,' a symbol cold,
But a season of warmth, stories untold.
With carols that echo through snowy nights,
Embrace the joy, festive lights.
In every greeting, let the meaning flow,
This December, let true Christmas glow.
