Let The Spirit of Christmas Linger Milton Lee Norris

Happy New Year 2010
Oh Let the Spirit of Christmas Linger!*!*Ø

Everything changes and how wonderful that is;
It makes for a better journey because we live by learning.
Let this Christmas Spirit linger on and carry it throughout the New Year;
It will enlighten you and brighten up your heart.
Let Christmastime not be the only joyful time of giving and sharing.
Look inside and see what’s there; see what gifts you have to share.
Look inside and think of the joy which comes your way,
And share it with others and that someone special.
Let there be joy; let there be laughter;
And let there be love for all humankind, not just some.
This is my prayer for the coming New Year.
Amen

Christmas Blessings of Yesteryears

Be Blessed this Christmas Season by Milton Lee Norris

There is a spirit that is warm, gentle and kind.
It’s joyous and wonderful; as a matter of fact some call Him Wonderful!
His Spirit flows everyday, yet at Christmastime it seems enhanced.
Joy to all of the world indeed,
For this is a time that we all need!
It is a time that we cherish; a time that we give,
It is a time of laughter, though many tears are shed.
Be blessed this Christmas Season, His spirit blesses us daily!
Be blessed today and everyday for He’s always here to share!
Be blessed because it feels good!
Be blessed because it brings joy!
Be blessed because it brings happiness!
Be blessed because it is good news!
So have a blessed Merry Christmas lasting the whole year through!
Be blessed and say Amen!

Oh Christmas, oh Christmas by Milton Lee Norris

Oh Christmas, oh Christmas,
We thank you for your arrival.
We need to hear some voices of cheer,
And see smiles on faces that we see!
Oh Christmas, oh Christmas,
The joy that comes from you,
The trees, the children and the gifts
You give us everyday.
But for some reason we want more
Than so many people have each year.
Oh Christmas, oh Christmas,
Please teach us how to love,
Please teach us how to give,
And please teach us how to speak.
Oh Christmas, oh Christmas,
We thank you for your gifts, Amen.
