CHRISTMAS IS COMING

The day before Christmas is very busy for families in England. They wrap presents, bake cookies, and hang stockings over the fireplace. Then everyone gathers around the tree as someone tells the favorite story, “A Christmas Carol.”After hearing their favorite Christmas story, children write a letter to Father Christmas with their wishes. They toss their letter into the fire so their wishes can go up the chimney. After the children fall asleep on Christmas Eve, Father Christmas comes to visit. He wears a long, red robe, carries a sack of toys, and arrives on his sleigh pulled by reindeer. He fills the children’s stockings with candies and small toys. CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND

On Christmas Day, everyone sits down to the midday feast and finds a colorful Christmas cracker beside their dinner plate. A Christmas cracker is a paper-covered tube. When the end tabs are pulled, there is a loud crack. Out spills a paper hat to wear at dinner, small trinkets, and a riddle to read aloud to everyone at the table.

The family enjoys a feast of turkey with chestnut stuffing, roast goose with currants, or roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Brussels sprouts are likely to be the vegetables. Best of all is the plum pudding topped with a sprig of holly. Brandy is poured over the plum pudding and set aflame. Then family members enjoy a dramatic show as it is carried into the dining room. Whoever finds the silver charm baked in their serving has good luck the following year. The wassail bowl, brimming with hot, spiced wine, tops off the day’s feast.

Celebrating Christmas. Celebration of the birth of Christ. He who is the Savior. Resting in a manger, in a bed of hay. In the light of the Christmas star shining above, showing the way. Shepherds and kings all followed the light to pay tribute to Him. To leave gifts at his feet and acknowledge their King. Mary’s son, and the Son of God. A man, too, and mortal, able to die for our sins, and so. Save us from ourselves, and grant us eternal life and light

The Little Christmas Carollers. We are a band of carollers,We march through frost and snow,But care not for the weather. As on our way we go. At every hall or cottage. That stands upon our way,We stop to give the people. Best wishes for the day. We pray a merry Christmas,Made bright by Christmas cheer,With peace, and hope, and gladness. And all they may hold dear. And for all those that happen. To pass us on our way. We have a smile, and wish them. A merry Christmas-day.

Christmas is for giving. Christmas is for giving. And for showing that we care,For honoring the Christ Child. With the loving gifts we share. The wise men gave of riches;The shepherds, faith and love. Each gift, in its own measure,Was smiled on from above. Let every gift be treasured;Not always size or price. Determines the extent of love. And willing sacrifice. Handsome gifts with festive trim. Bring smiles of sweet content,But modest gifts of humble meansare ofttimes heaven sent. Whether it be large or small,Each gift will share in part. The message of true Christmas joy. If given from the heart!
