The Real First Night of Christmas
‘Twas the first night of Christmas a long time ago
The hillside was peaceful, the moon was aglow.
The world couldn’t know from what happened before
That men would remember this night evermore.
The sheep on the hillside–their days journey over
Were dreaming sweet dreams of a field full of clover. Read more

A is for angels
from Heaven above. B is for bells, ringing

Santa’s Prayer
 Warren Jennings
On Christmas Eve
The sleigh was all packed,
the reindeer were fed
But Santa still knelt
by the side of his bed.
“Dear Father,” he prayed
“Be with me tonight.
There’s much work to do
and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in my sleigh
and streak through the sky,
Knowing full well
that a reindeer can’t fly.
I will visit each household
before the first light,
I’ll cover the world
and all in one night.
With sleighbells a-ringing,
I’ll land on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter
of each little hoof.
To get in the house
is the difficult part,
So I’ll slide down the chimney
of each child’s heart.
My sack will hold toys
to grant all their wishes.
The supply will be endless
like the loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the stockings
and not leave a track.
I’ll eat every cookie
that is left for my snack.
I can do all these things, Lord,
Only Through You!
I just need your blessing,
then it’s easy to do.
All this to honor the birth of the ONE,
That was sent to redeem us,
Your most Holy Son.
So, to all of my friends,
least Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them
who gave me this job.”
