SANTA’S INSIDE JOB
One child said, ”Our chimney’s too tall.”
Another claimed, “Ours is too small.”
A third frowned, “We’ve problems galore—
Santa has to knock on our door
‘Cause we have no chimneys at all!”

THE GIFT OF CHRISTMAS
The curious lad saw
Many bright colored lights,
And the beautiful sights
Filled his young eyes with awe.
“Mom, when did Christmas come?”
“It hasn’t yet, my son.
You may see yuletide trees,
Exciting toys that please,
Choose your favorite one—
But Christmas has not come.”
“Mom, when will Christmas come?”
“Son, there’s a child who’s poor.
You sense his needs and more—
You give him your prized toy;
Then you are blessed with joy.
Your Christmas will have come.”
