Hello Everyone, so the children and I asked ourselves…what is Christmas all about?  I believe this beautiful poem captures the meaning of this wonderful season.  Enjoy!

Also, here are some photos of the stockings the K-12 children have been working on.  It was easy to print these worksheets off and let the children create their Christmas list.  They had to think of things/goodies they wanted for Christmas.

This poem is from the web site: heavens inspirations

Christmas will always be for us
A time to reflect on Christ,
The gift God gave to all the world
Was the gift of His life

 

We know Christmas is not about tinsel,
Nor fancy Christmas wreaths,
Nor is it about all the decorations
That adorns our Christmas trees

 

And it's not about Holly or Mistletoe
Hanging from our doors,
Nor is it about the gifts that are left
By the jolly Santa Claus

 

Christmas is more than all of this
And the only reason why
We celebrate Christ's birth together
And the wonder of His life

 

So remember as you celebrate,
Just what it's all about
And invite the Lord to join with you,
Instead of leaving Him out

 

For He will always be the reason
We celebrate this day,
No substitute the world may offer
Can take that meaning away.
