Christmas is right around the corner, but do we really understand what we are about to celebrate? For most people, it is a time where we take a couple of weeks off from school to play with the new toys that we are gifted on the 25th of December. However, there is so much more to Christmas than just getting presents and buying stuff for other people.
The real spirit of Christmas is all about giving.
No matter what anyone says to you, the true spirit of the holiday is what you can GIVE to people as opposed to what you can receive.
Things like family and good friends should not be taken for granted. We get so caught up in our car loans, prescription costs and other issues to really understand what is important in life.
The real meaning of Christmas is all about peace, love and forgiveness.
It isn’t about car loans, money and working more hours.
The real meaning of Christmas is about the joy you can give to others and the appreciation for what you have, not what you are longing to receive.
One of the ways of doing it is holiday greetings!
Choose the greeting you like most and share it with us!

ReplyDeleteThis Christmas I just want you to know that you have been the best gift I have ever received. And every Christmas the only thing that I will ask Santa is to strengthen our relationship. Merry Christmas to you and also a very Happy New Year ahead.
ReplyDeleteI wish my wrapping paper didn't get mangled.
ReplyDeleteI wish the cost of presents was cheaper-
I wish for most people the meaning of Christmas was deeper.
I wish pine needles weren't so prickly-
I pray at Christmas no one gets sickly.
After wrapping boxes and putting on bows-
I'll promise to still make time to see a few Christmas shows.
Popcorn to nibble and holiday cocoa in mug-
Phew! What I could really use is a holiday hug.
As the wee hours unfold-
and the magical story of Christmas is about to be told.
The silhouetted candles flicker with light-
As the Choir sings "Silent Night."
I sit in church with my glistening tears-
as the sacred hour of Christmas nears.
I pray for those here and afar-
To be deeply touched by the Christ Star.
So that all the other 364 days a year-
The Godly Spirit in them brings great cheer.
So that the earth and all its inhabitants-
make much better cohabitants.
And so I pray this holy night for the earth's creatures great and small-
Merry Christmas to us all!

DeleteMy Christmas Wish For You
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too..

The poem about Christmas time:
ReplyDeleteLady, dear, if Fairies may
For a moment lay aside
Cunning tricks and elfish play,
'Tis at happy Christmas-tide.
We have heard the children say -
Gentle children, whom we love -
Long ago on Christmas Day,
Came a message from above,
Still, as Christmas-tide comes round,
They remember it again -
Echo still the joyful sound
"Peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Yet the hearts must childlike be
Where such heavenly guests abide;
Unto children, in their glee,
All the year is Christmas-tide!
Thus, forgetting tricks and play
For a moment, Lady dear,
We would wish you, if we may,
Merry Christmas, Glad New Year!

ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest joys of Christmas is having your whole family by your side to celebrate it with you. I wish you and your entire family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
ReplyDelete“Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself”
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Merry Christmas! Hope you have a very nice holiday and a great New Year! I hope all of your wishes come true. The smell of gingerbread roams through the house. Nothing is stirring not even a mouse. Happy Holidays.

ReplyDeleteMy CHRISTmas Wish
ReplyDeleteI am just a little girl but I wish today
That boys and girls everywhere could have a place to play
I wish that they could go to church and see a Christmas play
About the baby Jesus who was born on Christmas day.
If they went to see the play, this is what they'd see
The little baby Jesus in the manger, oh, so sweet
They would see His mother looking at a distant star
That guided the wisemen to the manger from afar.
They would see the animals standing all around
And they would see the worshipers, kneeling on the ground,
That brought the baby Jesus gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh
Yes, all the boys and girls would learn of baby Jesus birth.
I have another wish today, for peace in all the lands
That all the wars and bitterness would come to an end
There would be no homeless to sleep out in the streets
That they would have a place to live and plenty food to eat.
I wish for peace and happiness for everyone on Earth
That everyday would be like the baby Jesus birth
Joyful and triumphant with homes that's filled with Love
And we could honor Christ the King who's watching us with Love.

Love came down at Christmas;
ReplyDeleteLove all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Stars and angels gave the sign.
Somehow, not only for Christmas,
ReplyDeleteBut all the long year through,

Returns to you glad.
