Christmas Wish List

parents running around frantic for a tree waiting for the last moment so that their children do not see decorating the tree when their children have been put to sleep putting the lights, garland and icicles upon the tree. and hoping that the children will not sneak down to see. wrapping the presents and toasting a glass of wine and thanking god for this quiet time. hoping that the children are having pleasant dreams of things seen and unseen. and in their dreams they thank the lord up above for their family and their love. and when they open up their eyes on christmas day and rush to see the tree decorated from bottom to the top for a split second their hearts will stop. the presents wrapped in ribbons and bows to be torn apart by little fingers anxious to see. what was left under the tree. the hearts beating in a rapid pace and big smiles upon their face. asking each other 'what did you get'. and in their faces there are no regrets. they stop and gather around, and thank god for all they found. for so many children are without but they thank god for another day and in their hearts the lord will stay. christmas is not just for gift giving but for living. and feeling the joy of christ. and if you have an extra gift, put it on a poor persons list. for what you do today- will come back to you in another way. show your children all you can teach them to give a helping hand. this is my christmas wish, which i put on my list.
