Glowing Christmas Tree
Glowing Christmas tree
I can’t explain it
You feel so majestic to me
I can’t contain it
You fill my heart with glee
It’s so magical to see
Sparkling lights on my glowing Christmas tree
You light up my home
So effervescently
You are an amazing entity
So magical in beauty
Light up my heart tonight my dear tree
Here I’ll sit and adore you quietly
My glowing Christmas tree

“The Christmas tree is a symbol of love, not money. There’s a kind of glory to them when they’re all lit up that exceeds anything all the money in the world could buy.”
-Andy Rooney, Andy Rooney: 60 Years of Wisdom and Wit
Pine
The smell of pine
Means its Christmas time
Smells heavenly divine
Its Christmas time
Tantalizing my senses
Breaking down my defenses
Its Christmas time
The child in me is here
She always comes out this time of year
Written by Latisha J.Greaves-Barker
“…freshly cut Christmas trees smelling of stars and snow and pine resin – inhale deeply and fill your soul with wintry night…”
-John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
Our Family Christmas Tree
Let’s decorate the Christmas tree
You, me, our family
Let’s hang the ornaments
Twirl the lights
What wonderful delights
How majestic will it be?
When we complete our Christmas tree
A reflection of you and me
Our family Christmas tree
Together we will have fun
Snack on milk and cookies when we’re done
Then as we sit by our family tree
We’ll read the Christmas story
of Jesus birth and all its glory
We’ll look up at our Christmas tree
And bask in its glow together peacefully
Written by Latisha J.Greaves-Barker
“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other”
-Burton Hills
Under My Christmas Tree
Under my Christmas tree
Awaits a special gift for me
Somebody above must really love me
They must’ve heard me laugh
Sometimes heard me cry
They must’ve seen me smile
They must’ve seen me sigh
They knew what I desired
And rendered that gift to me
That special gift
Perfectly wrapped
Beneath my Christmas tree
I did not take a peek
But I surely know
What it would be
Someone oh someone
Must surely love me
They listened when I asked
They heard my heart shout
For the giver of this Christmas gift
Must know what I’m about
So I finally took a look
I finally took a peek
As I suspected
It’s the Christmas gift I seek
Not a Barbie Doll
A mansion on the hill
A diamond ring
A physical thing with a temporary thrill
This Christmas gift came
complete with everything I needed
and if it was all I had, I’ll know I still succeeded
Family, joy, happiness, love
Peace and good friends
It even came with wonderful
children and a loving Husband
One by one
I counted what this entire gift contained
To make it very simple
I’ll call the gift by name
Under my tree
Beneath the trimmings and wrappings
Was a present full of God’s joyful blessings

“Remember, if Christmas isn’t found in your heart, you won’t find it under the tree”
-Charlotte Carpenter
O Tannenbaum
By Mannheim Steamroller, Johnny Mathis
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!
Not only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
For every year the Christmas tree,
Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
Each bough doth hold its tiny light,
That makes each toy to sparkle bright.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
