Merry Christmas 2008

His arrival was eagerly anticipated,
But not just by children.
He came on Christmas day,
But not down a chimney.
He worked in a woodshop,
But not making toys.
He had a beard,
But it was not white.
He had some helpers,
But they were not elves.
He did a miracle,
But not on 34th St.
He rode into town,
But not a sleigh.
He carried a lot of weight,
But it was not heavy.
He hung from a tree,
But not as an ornament.
He disappeared into the clouds,
But to the North Pole.
His return is eagerly anticipated,
But not predictable.

Jesus is the reason for the season
