ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Don't what to say.
[January 2007]
Christmas Joy.
Jeaette H

�So let me ask you something. �What do you think about Christmas?

Christmas
Some people say that Christmas is for the little ones
Some people say that Christmas is a family time
Some people say that Christmas is to help those lest fortunate then yourself.
Some people would say that Christmas is for the adults and Santa is for the children
other say that a time to celebrate the birth of Christ
Some people think that Christmas is a time for friends to get together for a Christmas party.
Some people see it as more money they have to spend.
Some people would say that Christmas is the magic of childhood.

Ok maybe you remember the best Christmas you had or maybe remember the worst Christmas you had. Will Christmas means different things to different people? Or Maybe is you are like me and like to make Chocolate Chip cookies.

Sadly enough I think it gotten to Commercialize and to Materialize. Long ago as there lived a wise old man who lived out in the woods he live in a one room log cabin he didn�t have any luxuries nor did he wanted any. He had an old wood burning stove to cook his meals he had a table two Chairs and cot to sleep on. He loved to read his Bible. The old man would sit and watch the animals play he like watching the raccoons, squirrel, and rabbits. He was chopping up some carrots, onions, Celery to make vegetable soup when he heard a knock on the door. Out side was a confused teenager.

My mother says that Christmas is for the little ones
Some people say that Christmas is a family time
The people at my pray meeting says that Christmas is to help those lest fortunate then yourself. We even donated money so some prisoners can have a nice Christmas.
A magazine article says that Christmas is for the adults and Santa is for the children
others say that a time to celebrate the birth of Christ
Some people think that Christmas is a time for friends to get together for a Christmas party.
Some people see it as more money they have to spend.
Some people would say that Christmas is the magic of childhood. So which one is right, she asked.

You see child. They are all right everyone is right in their own eyes. You see Cariamas means different things to different people. Come here tonight and I tell you a Christmas story. Will that night a crow of people came to hear the Wise old man tell Christmas Story?

�Long ago a man was poor he sometimes didn�t have enough to eat and yet he loved Jesus so much that he had everything.� Will his wealthy parents left him lots of money so he would leave food for the sick. Children would get warm clothing and he would leave money for the poor.

�Do you know what is sad death row prisoners would die before they own their first Bible.� You see Christmas is Jesus�s Birthday and different people celebrate his birthday in different ways, You see the prisoners on death row get lonely the poor prisoners have nobody. Will back at the of Winter Village the people were doing there Christmas Shopping? Some people were baking cookies cakes
there were few people out ice skating. Will there was one man who would buy for all the people in nursing homes. One couple started buying for all the animals at S P C A. The snow started coming down and some people were catching snow flakes on their tongue.

People were caroling. One man had to stop at soup kitchens where he would help set up meals. What was Christmas any way. Now the question what do you tell the children about Santa was he a lie. Fantasy was he child hood magic. Now there was one couple who were collecting Bibles to give to death row prisoners sad party they could of been executed without knowing about Jesus�s forgiveness. Some people were giving toys for tots.

What do you tell children about Christmas
That Santa coming with toys.
That is time to do for others.
That its Jesus�s birthday.
That a time for family and friends to get together.

�Will let me ask you something if you were only going to get one thing for Christmas what would you want. Some of the people were gathering logs to build a fire and roasting Marshmallows. Popping corn and so forth. People were ice skating the wise old man like just to watch natural the animals. Christmas, Santa what did it all mean anyway.

Little kids wanted toys
the elderly in the nursing homes only wanted some one to visit them
the cats and dogs at the Humane society only want a good home
death row prisoner would of love for some company.
Many place could use some volunteers.

What was it that one really believed or didn�t believed about that day?
Where there people who liked Christmas
Where there people who loved Christmas
Where there people detested Christmas
Where there people who hated Christmas. And if one really believed that it was the birth of our Lord and Savor then why didn�t we stop to think what is that Jesus would want.

Another question when I see how some people could write a Horror Movie about Christmas I wonder why do they hate that day. Not everyone likes Christmas but what is that some people hate that day.

Will let me tell what I think Christmas isn�t
I think Christmas is a day that nobody should have to be alone unless they choose to do so.
I don�t think it should be a time to judge your children like some parents do.
Who is that day for and what dose it all mean
Is it time for pray or caroling.

So let me ask you one more time if you were only going to get ONE Thing for Christmas what would you want?
