Christmas Quotes

John Ellis of Paris, Maine writes: “A recent choral concert ended with a sing-along. The song sheet instructed the audience to sing ‘Silent night, holy night, all is clam, all is bright’."

Christmas comes but once a year. Which is just as well.

Talking with Santa

As a little girl climbed onto Santa’s lap, Santa asked the usual:

“And what would you like for Christmas?”
The child stared at him open-mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: “Didn’t you get my email?”

Dear Santa,

There are three little boys who live at our house.

There’s Jeffrey. He’s two.

There’s David. He’s four.

There’s Norman. He is seven.

Jeffrey is good some of the time.

David is good some of the time.

Norman is good all of the time.

I am Norman.

Advent Prayer

Prayer of a New Guinea Christian

At the Advent season we should try the key to our heart's door. It may have gathered rust. If so, this is the time to oil it, in order that the heart's door may open more easily when the Lord Jesus wants to enter at Christmastime. Lord, oil the hinges of our heart's doors that they may swing gently and easily to welcome your coming.
