Ok, here's my other favorite...they both really show "the reason for the season"....they both almost make me cry when I listen to them, and I'm NOT a crier.

Holiday Feasting

Holiday time is for feasting;

We look forward to each treat.

The tables are full of our favorite foods;

We’ve got lots of good things to eat.

We scarf marshmallowed sweet potatoes;

There’s cider and eggnog to slurp.

There’s so much going down at once,

Who can help an occasional burp?

Here’s the turkey, dressing and gravy;

Let’s all get down to chewing it,

And if we pass a little gas,

Who’ll notice? Everyone’s doing it.

Dessert is three kinds of pie;

Then pass the box of candy.

Next year will you please remind us

To have Alka-Seltzer handy!

What Do We Love About Christmas?

What do we love about Christmas;

Does our delight reside in things?

Or are the feelings in our hearts

The real gift that Christmas brings.

It's seeing those we love,

And sending Christmas cards, too,

Appreciating people who bring us joy

Special people just like you.

By Joanna Fuchs

The Christmas Gift of Knowing You

The Christmas season fills our hearts with joy;

Bright, happy days bring special kinds of pleasure.

We're wrapped in the excitement of it all,

The sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes we treasure.

Yet when we have some quiet time to think

About our finest blessings all year through,

We focus on our family and our friends,

And appreciate the gift of knowing you!

By Joanna Fuchs

True Christian Christmas

Christmas isn't showy gifts

Or glittering decoration;

It's honoring our Savior, Jesus Christ

In humble adoration.

It's serving those less fortunate,

Meeting their needs before our own;

It's making sure at Christmas time

That no one is alone.

It's taking what we would have spent

On things that no one needs,

And using it to help someone

With service and good deeds.

Our Savior showed us how to live

With charity, faith and service.

It makes the holidays a joy,

More peaceful, and less nervous.

So let's remember Christmas is

About our Savior's birth;

That's the way to happiness,

The way to peace on earth.
