    A Stocking Full Of Christmas # 1

    MOTHER CHRISTMAS, THANKS

    Mums make Christmas
    Only they can
    That is a fact of life
    Her mission is simple
    Every year
    Recreating the day

    Christmas for her
    Holidays for her
    Require of her to
    Illuminate the season
    Supply an army
    Trim and decorate
    Make and manufacture
    Aid and assist
    Sustain and nourish

    Thank her
    Honour her
    Assist her
    Neglect her not
    Kids and spouses
    Should respect her

    THE LITTLE CHRISTINGLE GIRL

    Oh sweet little Christingle girl
    Your daddy is so very far away
    “Bring my daddy safely home”
    These are the words you pray

    Oh sweet little Christingle girl
    Daddy is away at the war
    “Bring my daddy safely home
    Bring him safely to our door”

    Oh sweet little Christingle girl
    How she misses daddy far away
    How sad she is, he won’t be home
    To be with them on Christmas day

    At Sunday school she made a christingle
    She took an orange to represent the world.
    And to symbolize the blood Christ shed
    She took the red ribbon from her curls

    Then she decorated four tooth picks
    With fruits and sweets and marshmallows
    These she placed in the four corners
    To represented all the earthly souls

    Then finally in the centre of the orange
    She stood a single candle of purest white
    And when lit, the candle represented
    The world filled with Christ’s loving light

    The sweet little Christingle girl
    Took it home with her that day
    And stood it in the window
    So daddy would find his way

    And the sweet little Christingle girl
    With her daddy so very far away
    Knew that when he did come home
    That would be their Christmas day

    SANTA’S TOYS

    When Santa was a boy
    No bigger than an elf
    He was in the workshop
    Making toys himself
    But he has no time now
    For making his own toys
    Because he’s out delivering
    To all the girls and boys

    CHRISTMAS AGAIN

    The advent candle is lit again
    The Christmas cards are writ again
    Beneath the tree gifts sit again
    We’ve overspent a bit again

    The Christmas table is set again
    Our loved ones are met again
    We drink a toast of wet again
    And say merry Christmas yet again

    DECEMBER, DECEMBER

    December, December
    The snow has come
    Falling all night long
    Kids its time to have some fun

    December, December
    Children playing in the snow
    Skating and sledding
    Faces all aglow

    December, December
    More snow will come
    Then all through the winter
    Kids will have more fun

    KRIS KRINGLE

    If there is one thing
    To make the senses tingle
    It’s the coming of
    The good Kris Kringle

    On Christmas Eve
    We wait and pray
    For good Kris Kringle
    To come our way

    WE ARE THE CAROL SINGERS

    We are the carol singers
    Who sing carols as we go
    We sing in any weather
    In rain or wind or snow

    At every house or cottage
    That stands upon the lane
    We proudly sing a carol
    In snow or wind or rain

    We are the carol singers
    We never feel chagrined
    As we proudly sing together
    In snow or rain or wind

    We shake the tin for charity
    Singing carols as we go
    We are the carol singers
    In rain or wind or snow

    THE MAN IN RED

    Christmas Eve
    It’s time for bed
    Listen for the sleigh bells
    Of the man in red

    Cookies and milk
    By the fire place
    Excitement beams
    From each child’s face

    Up the stairs
    And fast asleep
    Close those eyes
    You mustn’t peep

    Then when you wake
    You will see
    Sweets and toys galore
    To fill you with glee

    I enjoyed each and every one of these. They took me back to the charming old world filled with the magic of Christmas. THE LITTLE CHRISTINGLE GIRL stands out in humanity, it just blows me away. Thanks for this precious stocking!

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    Like Haunted, I enjoyed these also. I had to look up "Christingle", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christingle, so I'm posting the link.
