“Silent night” was written for a choir when the church organ broke down.
The world’s biggest Christmas tree (76 m high) was put up in America in 1950.
A long time ago, people hung mistletoe over their doorways
because they believed it kept away evil spirits.

The bulbs
The tinsel
The lights he sees
All lit up on the Christmas trees

Every day is Christmas
When you have the kind of mind,
That stores up all the goodness
And the sweetness it can find.
When you don’t need an occassion,
To spread a bit of cheer,
But just keep on a-giving,
Of yourself throughout the year.

Christmas is not for the young or old,
It’s for all those whose love is bold.

The dreams of things that you don’t have,
Thoughts of days that seemed so sad.

Do you know it’s Christmas,
A Little after Thanksgiving
And a shade before New Year,
A Day of triumphant light and love,
Love – the feeling you and I share,
Light – it has brought to our lives.

As Joseph was a-walking,
He heard an angel sing,
“This night shall be the birthright
of Christ our heavenly King.

The candymaker made the candy in the form of a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the “Good Shepherd ” with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep have gone astray.

May I light a Christmas candle
So it lights up in the night
Let me put it on my window
Where I see the stars so bright

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

When it comes to counting blessings,
There are surely very few
As precious and as meaningful as someone dear as you
