Christmas Dinner

And it came to pass on a Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
Outside standing, lonely boy-child
Cold and shivering in the night

On the street, every window
Save but one, was gleaming bright
And to this window walked the boy-child
Peeking in saw, candle light

Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
Ducks and geese, cherry pies
But through this window saw a grey-haired lady
Table bare and tears in her eyes

Into his coat reached the boy-child
Knowing well there was little there
He took from his pocket,
his own Christmas dinner
A bit of cheese, some bread to share

His outstretched hands
held the food and they trembled
As the door, it opened wide
Said he, Would you share with me Christmas dinner
Gently said she, Come inside

The grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
Glasses two and her last drop of wine
Said she, Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas
and especially, yours and mine

And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
That in that town, the happiest Christmas
Was shared by candle light

What Does The Christmas Angel Look Like?

Angels come in all shapes and sizes; all ages and skin types.
For example, the little old lady who returned your purse last week.
They come disguised as enemies, teachers, students, even fools.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world, when you smile.
They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
Remember the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
An angel leaves no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if only you believe.
Remember the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.
Think back to the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one.
Some cherubs have freckles, some have dimples, think of some with wrinkles, some without.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but when you choose to see, angels are everywhere you look.
So, open your eyes and count all your Angels; for you are truly blessed.

Father Christmas' Sleigh Needs a Tow
Santa Claus' sleigh broke down on Christmas Eve. He flagged down a passing motorist and asked, 'Can you help me fix my toboggan, please?'

'Sorry,' the car driver replied, 'I'm not a mechanic – I'm a chiropodists .'

'In that case,' said Father Christmas, 'Please can you give me a tow?' [toe]

Another Good Angel Joke

Just before Christmas God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the evil that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out. So he called one of His best angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When she returned she told God, yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.
Well, he thought for a moment and said, maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another point of view. So God called another angel and sent her to Earth for a time too. When the angel returned she went to God and told him yes, the Earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.
God said this was not good. So He decided to email the 5% that were good and He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what that email said?

Ah, so you didn't get one either?

Grandpa's Christmas Story
Grandpa decided that shopping for Christmas presents had become too difficult. All his grandchildren had everything they needed, so he decided to send them each a cheque (check).

On each card he wrote:

'Happy Christmas Grandpa'

P.S. 'Buy your own present!'

While Grandpa enjoyed the family festivities, he thought that his grandchildren were just slightly distant. It preyed on his mind into the New Year. Then one day he was sorting out his study and under a pile of magazines, he found a little pile of cheques for his grandchildren. He had completely forgotten to put them in with the Christmas cards.
