Holidays - December 2006

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

Repeat Chorus

I have received a fur lined sink, and electric cheese straightener, a toenail engraver kit and an electric toilet seat warmer. Of course, I have received some dumb gifts as well. What gift have you received under the tree that made you shake your head?

Nativity Scene? I've made it many times out of simple paper, but this year I'd like to do something more special. Any ideas or websites? Much appreciated!
Happy Holidays!

Is it all about the stress, shopping, and presents, or do you find time to also make it a time of celebration and thanks?

Ideally a book that's a quick read and includes tips for achieving healthy balance. Thanks.

I am making each of my sisters a basket with a dvd, manicure scrub, hand cream, nail file, nail polish, and nail polish remover in them. I want to call them some sort of "movie manicure set" but I can't come up with something creative enough! I'm putting instructions on top, emphasizing the fact that we are four sisters, and we can do this together: watch a movie and do our nails. I can't come up with a name for the gifts though to put on top of the directions. Please help!

saying merry christmas or happy hannukah it seems to me that people are so afraid of offending someone they dont say anything or at my school the teachers are told to tell us "happy winter break" i understand that people have different religions and everything but not even being able to say "happy holidays" kind of annoys me what do u think???

and to everybody...
merry christmas/happy haunukah/happy holidays :-)
