THE OLDER I GET THE MORE I LOVE CHRISTMAS

I received a Christmas card from my Aunt Lucy (the only aunt I have left) and this poem was in it. I totally related to it~!

The Older I Get.....

the simpler my holiday preparations become...
the closer I feel to old friends as I write my Christmas cards...
the more I cherish the oldest ornaments...
the more fondly I remember Christmases past...
the longer I hold on to a holiday hug...
the more I realize Christmas is a matter of the heart...
the tighter my throad gets when I sing "Silent Night"...
the more I enjoy giving than receiving...
the more I try to see Christmas through the eyes of a child...
the longer I sit at night in the glow of the Christmas tree...
the more wondrously beautiful the Christmas story is...
the deeper my awe at God's infinte love...
the More I Love Christmas!

The older I get....
the more I enjoy sharing Christmas greetings with wonderful people with you!
