And etched on vacant places

Hi Shawn.I love all your Christmas Quotes;As I love life.Is it okay to share to you my own?
Remembering the years brings back the memories
sad,happy times which makes up life
let the spirit of Christmas
stays in our hearts
and treasure each moment
filled with Trust,Hope,and Love…
Merry Christmas
Hey Shawn, Let me begin by wishing you a Merry Christmas and a great year ahead. I read long ago, ‘ Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves ‘ – I know it is true for you as you bring us such joy with the lovely quotes. I am not a Christian but the spirit of Yuletide does touch me in many ways more than one. I feel nice to see the celebrations and cheer all around, it is quite contagious, makes me want to believe in all the good things in life…makes me want to love my fellow men. Something I do not feel all year around.
Cheers to all on Yule and the year ahead!
Amar Agarwala
Very well-said, Amar! Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas Shawn!
These quotes are amazing. Christmas is for children I believe and also for adults sharing their love for humanity.
I wrote this poem I hope to share with you, it is about what Christmas
means to me.
Preparing for Christmas
Families and friends gather together,
Sharing their love for each other.
Hugs and kisses gifts for all
Special moments, food galore.
Laughter and singing remembering the year,
Being thankful for those still here.
Then there are those whose loved ones are gone,
Angel’s in heaven looking down upon,
Candles alight so all spirits unite,
In memory and in our hearts they do abide,
If only we could hold them, just one more time,
The very thought, brings tears to our eyes.
There are many who are much too ill,
And sadness is all their families feel,
Say a Prayer for them a gift behold,
Christ dwells in their heart and soul,
He hears their prayers and their plea for help,
His Angel’s are watching over them all.
Give a thought to those who have no home,
No money or food or proper clothes,
They did once belong to a family long ago,
No one wants them now, no love returned.
They don’t meet the standards the world has set,
In God’s house they will be welcomed I am sure of that.
Enjoy your Christmas but remember why!
It is Christ’s Birthday not just a holiday,
Remember to light the candles for those above,
Pray for those who are sick, share your love,
Give what you can for those in need
Christ will bless you, I do believe.

Wonderful poem, Lee! Thanks for sharing it here. I hope it touches many people as it did me.
Lee and Shawn, thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and happy celebrations all around.
Hello to all , and I pray That your Christmas was a blessed one.
But in the event you could not find that perfect gift for that ” special ” person that you may have fallen out with or they fell out with your without any reason or explaination but just turned their back on you.. Give the gift of ” forgiveness”
See forgiveness will not break your fiancial back,
it will not empty your wallet , exceed your credit card limit or even having a creditor to call at the end of the year..
But what will happen to your is called PEACE.. and FREEDOM from stress, worry and concern.. continue to pray for that person and praise God for deliverance from the situation and watch your blessings be in a overflow situation and through that you can bless other by mot being tied down to the past, and going into your “present” of .. BE Blessed..
