The Older I Get....

Christmas card 2000
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 throat 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 infinite love......

the more I love Christmas!
