CHRISTMAS

by Sharon Swartzentruber

Christmas is my favorite time.

It’s also my birthday, and my Twin sister, Karen’s, too.

Most important of all its Jesus’ birthdate.

It’s a holy and inspiring day.

I love singing in the choir on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Day I enjoy watching my grandchildren opening their gifts. Christmas is the best!
