Fields like glistenin' diamonds Are blanketed in snow Gold n' silver packages All tied up with a bow Trees are set in houses The family gathers round Steaming mugs of chocolate The tree top now is crowned Streets of busy people In windows stop to stare Snow shows off its color From festive lights hung there Carolers are singing A Savior's melody Hooves of horse with buggy Complete the symphony Graceful are the skaters Who dance on frozen pond And stir the feathered snow When blade and ice do bond It's a Country Christmas The town folk all are cheered 'Cause on this magic night A miracle appeared <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

Could almost hear sleigh bells and feel my nose stinging as Jack Frost nips at it. It's a beautiful picture of Christmastime and I especially like the ending.."cause on this magic night a miracle appeared." It's a real keeper! Love, Mom |

 This is a Hallmark card in the making. You have left my mind with magical images of Christmas. Oh, I hear them caroling at the door... I've got to go! Merry Christmas!Luv, Bob <>< |

So lovely, Becky, Alive are your words with the joy of family and friends at Christmas. Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

I agree with the others that this would make a perfect Christmas card. Add one of Norman Rockwell's country paintings to this and you got it made. This was a lovely read and I am printing it to keep it around. Hope you don't mind. Happy Holidays to you and may God bless you with the love he gave us that night so long ago. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

This is really wonderful as I read it, it seemed you had just sent me a bunch of beautiful Christmas cards wraped up in a poem. I agree with all the comments posted above. |

   YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I know how fun it must be, for sometimes I go out to visit my grandparents in the country for the holidays, and I love visiting the pumpkin patches and ice-skating! (smiles) Soooooooo beautiful! May you have the happiest most loveliest holidays! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet dove, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
