The Real Night Before Christmas

Hello All and Merry Christmas!
It is a white (less than 1", but white) Christmas here!  What a wonderful day!  God is good and today is a great day that we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We went to the Christmas service at church last night and they played a video called "The Real Night Before Christmas."  The poem in it was outstanding.  You can read it below.  I don't know the author to give him credit, but here is a link to the video itself.  


Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock,
The tricky clock tick tocking
Each painfully long minute unlocking
The tumbly, jumbly "can't close your eyes" feeling
What will it be! When will it be!
Oh, the anticipation, the watching the wishing and waiting
To let the wiggles and giggles and Goosebumps go
To find, to see, to finally know
"What will it be?"
"When will it be?"
Oh, the expectation the "what if"s?" the "oh mys!" fairly shaking
Longing for this night's joy all year, that moment of hope so very near
Oh, what would they, could they imagine a gift so great a gift that compelled the whole world to wait!
When a heavenly father gave all mankind his son, the one, - love defined
The magic of Christmas is more brilliant you see than a bag or a box tucked under a tree
The true love of Christmas really began when Holy God became Holy Man.

Love the message of this poem as it says it all.  Have a great Christmas!

In His Hands,
Jullie T
