Merry Christmas and Happy New Year



We're wishing you a Christmas
Full of laughter, love and light,
With delicious holiday foods
To excite your appetite
We're hoping you receive
Delightful gifts to make you smile,
With family and friends
To love you all the while
We wish you a Merry Christmas
May your Christmas dreams come true,
And when Christmas is over,
Happy New Year, too!

A Different Kind Of Christmas



Sometimes Christmas is just overwhelming, it seems
As we rush around buying up stuff
We spend without end, and we rack up those bills
But it feels like it's never enough
So this Christmas, let's all take a different approach
Let's try to be more in accord
With God's Christmas gift, the best one of all
Our sweet Jesus, our Savior, our Lord
We'll be gentle and patient, and loving and kind
And we'll keep our priorities straight
The gifts of the Spirit, the gifts of the heart
Are the ones that we'll all celebrate
And our stress will decrease, and we'll feel more at peace
As we decorate, package, and trim
Our new Christmas will be a pure joy and delight
As we try to be much more like Him
