A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-23, 24, 25, 26-05....Home for the Holidays
Mama_Bear

Posted on 12/23/2005 12:04:48 AM PST by Mama_Bear



Oh, there's no place like
home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, 'cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.

That is just beautiful, Billie!

I need to leave again, and each time I do, I never know when I will get a chance to come back to the thread. Have been dashing in and out as time permits hoping to eventually get all my pings answered.

Time to fix breakfast here. Love you, sistah. TTYL

May love and happiness rain down on you and yours this coming year.

May health and wealth brighten your path from today ‘til forever.

May the light of your love for your loved ones only be outshined by the light of their love for you.

May the blessings of peace and liberty blow like an unstoppable wind across the world.

And may the spirit of the Season fill your all our hearts with joy enough to last a lifetime of lifetimes.

Merry Christmas Billie!

Merry Christmas and a very Happy Hanukah to all!

Luis

Let Us Raise It Up!

Let us raise up a lofty tree, and put it on display,
Reminder to us all to let our eyes lift up today,
To gaze on Him who came to us to expiate our sins,
Even though among our hearts, He often finds no inns.

No room for Mary, great with child, or for her caring spouse?
While we move out all the furniture to bring a tree in house?
How soon have we forgotten, it’s His birthday that we fest,
What kind of party will it be, if He is not First Guest?

So place an angel at the top, to bring us all great joy,
Glad tidings to announce a birth, Hallelujah, It’s a Boy!
A future King to rule our hearts, and show us all the way.
Let’s keep the fine traditions that were started that first day.

Somewhere let’s have a manger, with an infant child to view,
And let the animals take their part, they have their role here too!
It isn’t that you have to fling your front door open wide,
But just a portion of your heart for Him to come inside.

So raise that tree! And as you do, lift up your hearts in song,
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, we all can sing along,
This is a time for joy and for our hearts to have a lift,
For it’s the Anniversary of the world’s most awesome Gift!
