Country Christmas

Christmas was always a special time
In the country so long ago
Firelight danced on windowpanes
As hearts began to glow.

As a child, I yet remember
Gathering around the tree
Grandpa's old time stories
Filled every face with glee.

Savory smells drifted through the air
In a heavenly atmosphere
Voices cracked with happiness
As Christmas day drew near.

Homemade pies aligned the shelves
Made by Grandma's aging hands
And something spiritual touched us all
As the Yuletide swept the land.

T'was an ole fashioned country Christmas
Blessed with lots of Christmas snow
Sleigh rides for the young at heart
And hanging mistletoe.

Now my heart fills up with gladness
As the season brings its cheer
When these thoughts of mine go back in time
To recapture yesteryear.

One day, a man went to visit a church. He got there early, parked his car, and got out.

Another car pulled up and the driver got out and said,"I always park there! You took my place!"

The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat down.

A young lady from the church approached him and stated, "That's my seat! You took my place!"

The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing.

After Sunday School, the visitor went into the sanctuary and sat down.

Another member walked up to him and said, "That's where I always sit! You took my place!"

The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still He said nothing.

Later as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change.

Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet.

Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, "What happened to you?"

The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye, "I took your place."

This is the most famous aviation photograph ever taken. The Wright biplane, piloted by Orville Wright, has just taken off from a monorail launching strip on a field at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on 17 December 1903. Wilbur Wright, running along the right side of the aircraft, held onto the wing to balance the machine until it left the monorail. It is the only photograph of the world's first flight in a power driven heavier than air machine, which was invented by Wilbur and Orville Wright. The picture was taken by Surfman J. T. Daniels, a member of the crew of the Kill Devil Hills Lifesaving Station. (BTW, do you know what day it is?)
