The Advent season is a time to prepare ourselves to fully receive the blessing of Christmas

 

 
When you’ve put away goblins and ghosts
and have had that last turkey on toast
your holiday times should not end
a bigger one’s around the bend.
 
It’s important to start it off right
doing things to prepare for that night.
I’m not talking of Christmas trees
it’s about getting on your knees.
 
I know there are gifts you must buy
and so much baking you want to cry
just use time to take a long look
at the story found in the Book.
 
Don’t get busy and miss the reason
we celebrate this joyous season.
Put things in the proper perspective
to achieve your Christmas objective.

Larry,
This poem should be read by everyone. The busyness of Christmas, the ribbons, decorated trees, the stores, the gift buying, sometimes the TRUE meaning of Christmas lost in the hussle and bussel. We should ALL remember the real meaning of Christmas. "JESUS"

Blessings to you,
~Linda

This Christmas I wish we have a really thing to celebrate after so many years of frustrations, that the War Veterans get the recognition and help without strings attached, that they really deserve.
The, and only then, we can proclaim, "God bless America"!

Georg
