Christmas Happenings Pt. 2

On Friday morning we left for California and some fun times with the cousins and my sisters and their husbands. We celebrated our annual Christmas Eve (even though it was a few nights early). We came home on Christmas Eve and tried to get unpacked and settled for the next day. Here are some pictures from California, with a poem that my nephew (who is 8) wrote for Christmas first.

Christmas
By Caleb J. Waymeyer

Christmas, Christmas,
Christmas time is here,
Christmas, Christmas,
Christmas time of the year.
Christmas, Christmas,
Buy a Christmas Tree,
Christmas, Christmas,
One for you and me.
Christmas, Christmas,
The time of Jesus’ birth,
Christmas, Christmas,
It’s when Jesus came to earth.
Christmas, Christmas,
Jesus came to earth below,
Christmas, Christmas,
So his father’s love he could show.
Christmas, Christmas,
How could he show that love?
Christmas, Christmas,
Of his father up above?
Christmas, Christmas,
I will tell you how,
Christmas, Christmas,
I will tell you now:
Christmas, Christmas,
Jesus was crucified,
Christmas, Christmas,
For us he bled and died.
Christmas, Christmas,
He was raised,
Christmas, Christmas,
Now we can be saved.
Christmas, Christmas,
He died to make us free,
Christmas, Christmas,
He died for you and me.
Christmas, Christmas,
Is a time in December,
Christmas, Christmas,
Is a time to remember,
Christmas, Christmas,
About Jesus’ birth.
And so here my poem ends,
But I should say one more thing…MERRY CHRISTMAS!
