Snowfall covers the woods this night
Shimmering in the silvery moonlight,
The frontier wilderness is silent and still
Except in the little cabin on the hill.
Spirals of smoke from the chimney top
Float lazily over the iced treetops,
From every window frosted with snow
Lamplight cast shadows in a yellowy glow.
One heavenly star most brightly shined
Brilliantly it gleamed as one of a kind
And this special eve in a mild snowfall
Forest creatures gathered one and all.
Curious they came under a winter moon,
Circling the cabin they sensed that soon
A miracle would pass on this snowy night,
As long ago in a manger's candlelight.
A miracle the pioneers had prayed long for
Was being delivered from God they adore,
For a decade they had prayed for this event
And from a loving God it was sent.
From the mountaintop to creatures below
Came a winged angel whiter than snow,
With wings glittering it circled the little home
And in the blink of a doe's eye was gone.
Suddenly from the cabin arose such a clatter
God's creatures thought something the matter
And though no gifts, frankincense or myrrh
It was God's miracle creating the stir.
A baby was crying on this Christmas morn,
To The Father's children a child was born
And the creatures around knew all was well,
And returned to the forest as snow softly fell.
My vote is to have Christmas traditions all year round. You see at
Christmas time most people at least the ones I have met, always change just a
little for the better around Christmas. I do not know whether or not it is the
great yuletide Christmas carols, the festive atmosphere everywhere you go, or just some
hidden part in all of us that screams out, ( I BELIEVE IN MORE THAN WHAT I SEE AROUND ME. ) You see, somewhere deep down inside we all
believe in something better than we now have or see, and most of
us feel a lot better when we help someone. Whether the person is
in need or not, this feeling is what I call the feeling of
Christmas, and we all should strive to feel this way all year long.
Christmas 2011 is on December 25th and is the first Christmas of a new decade. The feeling of the Christmas holidays is truly all about family, friends and celebrating all things good.
