escerpted from "Christmas Always" book by Carl Schuler (Amazon books)

 

Christmas Day!

 

Asleep, at last, to fantasy dream what expectant ’morrow brings

Child, elder-young, warm loving heart in wonder de-light sings

 

Bright sunlight radiance, prism-rainbows frosted window glass

Beckons mystic-magic day for each sweet, awesome lad and lass

 

Redeemer birth mid-holy night, be celebrated

Crisp, frigid cold, conscious pierced, exacerbated

 

Gathered thankful group ’round most decorated festive tree

 Cheerful “I believe!” Merry guest, again, please be, childlike entity

 

Explosion of wrapped gaily colored paper-ribbon myriad spectral gifts

Avalanche mountain-presents like sculpted snowy crystal ice-blue drifts

 

Enjoy delightful scrumptious holiday cakes, fruit pies

Impressed by unique treasures for little gals and guys

 

Pleasant glide within a one-horse bright red sleigh

Twilight bonfire comfort punctuates adventure play

 

In each Christian soul, Christmas-kindled essence glows

Christ Jesus blessed! As Holy Spirit Grace-light shows

 

Peace! Innocent in rustic manger to mankind brought

Father bestowed Savior-Redeemer, now eternal sought

 

Communion Family performs “Silent Night!” angels’ song

Welcome! To this holy Christian Trinity of Faith belong

 

Praise! Honor! Glory! Almighty God! Each prayer say

His sacred new dawn gift enjoy like Christmas Day!

 

Celebrate every blessed Day for the adventure He offers! Amen!

 

Merry Christmas!

 

 

And---

 

 

 

The Sacred Holy Spirit of:

Christ‘m’as Love!

 

 

Peace on Earth! Within a tiny village town

Snow white fluff drifts ever softly floating down

 

Faith! Christian Belief endears hearts clinging

Family! Christmas Eve! Oh! Holy Hymns all singing

Freedom! Church bells toll their sacred spiritual ringing

 

Angelic second graders perform a “winter holiday” presentation play

In white robes with angel wings, hallowed message the innocents portray

 

“Silent Night!” sung sweetly soft surrounding surreal sight

In heaven, joyous golden bells chime blessed gospel bright

 

Each child in turn presents a single letter proud

“C-h-r-i-s-t-‘m’-a-s L-o-v-e-!” reverent testimony vowed

 

A collective gasp escapes adoring adult attendees

What they behold is just not quite so modern trendy

 

Cutie, Ima Prophet holds her letter upside down

Hushed silence befalls stunned audience profound

 

The Deity has changed the script to: Christ‘w’as Love!

Tread not on God’s Commandments writ celestially above

 

To show respect the assembled crowd doth respectfully arise

Joins Christmas chorus in God’s honored glory to apprise

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---is

In one eternal instant, that tender mercy judgment will be…His!

 

Christian blessings are the valued valid virtue treasures that one hath

And, Innocent shall Light the Way on Salvation’s Heaven Path! Amen!

 

Merry! Merry! Christ‘m’as Love!
