The Simplicity of Christmas

by
Mary McDonnell

 

 Look into a child's eyes at Christmas, what do you

see?

Eyes shining with happiness and wonder at this magical

season.

Their excitement is almost contagious.

It is this simplicity which is the key that opens the door

to a Christmas full of wonder and joy.

Just close your eyes to the world around you and ask

your Guardian Angel to guide you back to a time long ago

where a tiny Child was born on a cold and frosty night.

Not in a palace fit for a King but a manger full of love,

where even the cattle bowed their heads in silent adoration.

A golden light from Heaven above transformed their humble

surroundings while a chorus of Angels sweetly sang "Hosanna in

the Highest".

His Virgin Mother held Him tight warming His tiny body,

while Joseph gave praise to God above for his special

little family.

So as you prepare for Christmas day just say a little

prayer, for it�s in the heart that the Christ Child lives,

it�s the cradle of the soul.
