HOLI-DAZE
Each December one woman would call,
“Christmas is near; let’s go to the mall.”
The two went early; they loved to shop.
Their bargain hunt proceeded nonstop.
One of them declared right after five,
“If I don’t stop, my feet won’t survive.”
The other said, “I’ll bring round my car.”
She searched the parking lot, near and far,
Then came back laughing, cried, “Sakes alive!
I can’t find my car—I didn’t drive!”

JUST IMAGINE
On Christmas morn
The little boy
Blew his new horn,
Unwrapped each toy.
There was, of course,
A circling train,
A rocking horse
And small airplane.
He bounced a ball,
Yes, tried them all.
His favorite one
Which he found fun,
Better than blocks—
An empty box.

GOD'S GIFT
God gave to us all
His love on that night.
In a manger small
Lay the wondrous sight.
Awed by Jesus' birth
Under star so bright,
We find peace on earth,
Good will, Holy light.
