An Expression of Christmas
The very words, "Merry Christmas" bring pleasant memories.
I remember the music and it speaks faith to me. I recall the sights and sounds and feel hope. I remember the magic and meaning for the little ones. I recall the many, many expressions of love. I muse that it comes only once a year. . . but then my soul cries out:
Christmas is not a moment of eternity but a measure of forever Christmas is Christ's message of salvation to mankind. Christmas is a beautiful reminder of what has been and a solemn rejoicing in what will be. Christmas is the time to make certain our lives reflect the teachings of our Savior!
Dee Ann Ludwig
When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow, We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago, And etched on vacant places Are half-forgotten faces Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.
--Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The tradition of Christmas lights dates back to when Christians were persecuted for saying Mass. A simple candle in the window meant that Mass would be celebrated there that night.
