The First Christmas Gift

*----*Merry Christmas to all of you...my beloved..online..Friends*----*
In Italy they have no Christmas trees. Instead they decorate
small wooden pyramids with fruit.
Ukrainians decorate their trees with an artificial spider
and matching web. A spider web found on Christmas morning
is believed to bring good luck.
The citizens of Caracas, Venezuela block off the streets
on Christmas eve so that people can roller-skate to God's
house.
It is a British Christmas tradition that a wish made while
mixing the Christmas pudding will come true only if the
ingredients are stirred in a clockwise direction.
A traditional Christmas dinner in early England was the
head of a pig prepared with mustard.
Sending red Christmas cards to anyone in Japan constitutes
bad etiquette, since funeral notices there are customarily
printed in red.
In Norway on Christmas Eve, all the brooms in the house
are hidden because long ago it was believed that witches
and mischievous spirits came out on Christmas Eve and
would steal their brooms for riding.

Beautiful Heart...
We live in a cold

you're endlessly
warm, kind, and giving,

deserves a joyous Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
May your fondest
Christmas Dream
come true.

Christmas in the Indian Camp
A. M. Harvey
Dec 20, 2006
ON Christmas night the Indian camp was a noisy place. The fires were
burning brightly in every tepee, and shouts and laughter told of the
good time that was being had by everyone as a part of the celebration
that the old French priest had taught them to have.
Outside the wind was blowing cold, with skiffs of snow. A strange boy
wandered into the camp. He stopped at the tent of the chief and asked
that he be admitted and given food and allowed to get warm. The chief
drove him away.
He went to the tent of Shining Star and tried to be admitted, but
Shining Star grunted, and his boys drove him away with whips.
He then went to many of the tents, including those of Eagle Eye and
Black Feather, but none would receive him, and at one they set a dog
upon him. His feet were bare, and tears were frozen on his cheeks.
He was about to leave the camp, when he noticed a small tepee made of
bearskin off by itself. He walked slowly to it, and quietly peeped in.
Inside he saw the deformed Indian, who was known everywhere by the name
of Broken Back. His squaw sat near him, preparing a scanty meal for them
and their children. The children were playing on the ground, but were
watching their mother closely, for they were hungry. The fire was low,
and the boy started to turn away, and broke a twig that lay on the
ground.
Broken Back ran out and stopped him as he was about to turn away.
"What do you want?" he said.
The boy commenced to cry.
"I am so cold and hungry," he said, "and I have been to all the tents,
and they will not let me in."
Then Broken Back took him by the hand and led him into the tent, and
they divided the food with him, and built up the fire until he became
warm and happy. They urged him to stay all night and until the storm was
over.
So he sat on the ground near the fire and talked and played with the
children until it was time to go to sleep.
Then he stood up, and they all noticed that he was tall, and as they
looked they saw that he was a man instead of a boy. His clothes were
good, and over his shoulder hung a beautiful blanket, and over his head
was a bonnet with feathers of strange birds upon it. As they looked, he
reached out his hand and said:
"Broken Back, you have been good to a poor, cold and hungry boy. You and
all of yours shall have plenty."
And Broken Back stood up; and he was deformed no more, but was large and
strong and well, and his squaw stood by his side, and both were dressed
in the best of Indian clothes. The children jumped about with joy, as
they noticed that they were at once supplied with many things that they
had always wanted.
"Broken Back," he said, "you shall be chief of your tribe. And all of
your people shall love and respect and honor you. And your name shall be
Broken Back no longer, but shall be Holy Mountain."
And as they talked, all of the Indians of the tribe came marching about
his tent shouting in gladness, "Great is Holy Mountain, our chief,
forever."
As they shouted, he disappeared, and they saw him no more.
The next day the good priest came to the camp, and they told him what
had happened, and he said, "It was Jesus."
From the 1917 book by A. M. Harvey: ---- Tales and Trails of
Wakarusa

A Differnet Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door ju st to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." "It's my duty to stand at
the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gram p s died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you mo ney," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."
PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people
as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
Service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities.
Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make
people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed
themselves for us.
Thank you Tracey L:)

My favorite Christmas Tradition was to go to my sister Dorothy's house
and bring tons of goodies & gifts.We spent a few days there and helped
do the Tree and other things that had to be done.I got to catch up with
my sister on our lives and other family member lives.We did this up till
almost 2 years ago.See almost 2 years ago was my sister Dorothy's last
Christmas with us.We went to her house even though she was in the
hospital with Cancer & COPD.She went in on Christmas Eve & we visited
with her on Christmas day.That was the last time I really saw her
smile.She died on April 25,2005.Christmas's are not the same anymore.
