Merry Christmas and Santa's Christmas Prayer~

Wishing you and yours a

very Merry Christmas!

Santa's Christmas Prayer

On Christmas Eve the other night

I saw the most amazing sight,

For there beneath the Christmas tree

Was Santa kneeling on his knee.

His countenance was different than

That all-familiar, jolly grin;

His head was bowed, with hand to breast,

And slightly tucked into his vest.

For there in a nativity

Was Jesus and His family,

And as I heard him start to pray

I listened close to what he'd say.

"Lord, You know that You're the reason

I take pleasure in this season.

I don't want to take Your place,

But just reflect Your wondrous grace.

I hope You'll help them understand

I'm just an ordinary man,

Who found a way to do Your will

By finding kids with needs to fill.

But all those centuries ago,

There was no way for me to know

That they would make so much of me,

And all the gifts beneath the tree.

They think I have some hidden power

Granted at the midnight hour,

But it is my love for You

Inspiring the things I do.

And so when they begin to open

Gifts for which they have been hoping,

May they give You all the glory,

For You're the One True Christmas story."

May we all remember the true meaning of Christmas this season!
