"The Christmas Angels"  

If you see some different lights
 Around your Christmas tree
It could be Christmas Angels
 Hiding there to see.

The fun and joy of Christmas
 As they watch the children play.
 And as they watch you celebrate
This very special day.

But there's another reason that
The Christmas angels appear,
They're here to remind us why
It's a special time of year.

This is the day that Christ was born
Years ago in Bethlehem
 He's the one who is our Savior
 He is King of all the land.

So celebrate His birthday
With your presents, cheer and love
And let Him know you're glad He is
Our Savior up above.

Then the Christmas Angels
Will be happy they were here
 And they can leave, but don't you fret
They'll be back again next year.

Christmas Eve
On a winter night
When the moon is low
The rabbits hop on the frozen snow,
The woodpecker sleeps in his hole in the tree
And fast asleep is the chickadee.

*
Twelve o'clock 
and the world is still
As the Christmas star comes over the hill
The angels sing,and sing again:
"Peace on earth,goodwill to men."

     "I WANT TO BE AN ANGEL"

by Mies Gill

I want to be an angel,

And with the angels stand, 

A crown upon my forehead,

A harp within my hand.

 There, right before my Saviour,

So glorious and so bright,

 I'd wake the sweetest music,

And praise him day and night.

I never should be weary,

Nor ever shed a tear, 

Nor ever know a sorrow,

Nor ever feel a fear. 

But blessed, pure, and holy,

I'd dwell in Jesus' sight, 

And with ten thousand thousaud

Praise him both day and night.

          by Garnett Ann Schultz 

Reach for an angel high on a star;

She sends you Christmas wherever you are,

Bringing you laughter and faith so supreme,

Touching your heart with a beautiful dream.

Peace and goodwill in each loving home,

Beauty and magic so surely your own. 

Sweet Christmas angels - moments of love,

Part of the wonder God sends from above.

Santa and children - this wonderful day,

Hope for tomorrow in words that we pray,

Tree reaching tall - such a beautiful sight,

Music we treasure is heard on the night.

Bless you, my dear ones, this so holy time;

May God's richest blessings forever be thine,

Glad tidings I send you across every mile

Along with a faith to make each day worthwhile.

God's Christmas angels, precious and dear,

For a Merry Christmas,lasting through a New Year.

-Garnett Ann Schultz 

           (some more verses by the same author)

You will find the road to Christmas

Where your hopes and dreams come true,

And your heart will know the magic

That the season brings to you.

-Garnett Ann Schultz 

There's a beauty when it's Christmas,
