WHEN YOU FEEL LOST, PAUSE AND LOOK
CLOSELY AROUND YOU.
SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, AN ANGEL WILL
BE WAITING TO HELP YOU HOME.
I'm Spending Christmas With Jesus This Year
~ author unknown
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars
Reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular
Please wipe away that tear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year
I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here
For I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description
To hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me
I see the pain inside your heart
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year
I can't tell you of the splendor
Or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas
With our savior, face to face
I'll ask him to light your spirit
As I tell him of your love
So then pray for one another
As you lift your eyes above
So please let your hearts be joyful
And let your spirit sing
For I'm spending Christmas in heaven
And I'm walking with the King.
Christmas With the King
Written by Kaye Des'Ormeaux
To my dearest family that I left behind,
I need to touch your heart tonight.
For it's Christmas and you're missing me,
And the season doesn't seem so bright.
While others are celebrating the holiday,
you find it hard to do the same.
You watch other families gather in splendor,
while you tearfully mention my name.
I know it was painful for you this year,
to decorate your Christmas tree.
For you cried as you hung each ornament.
Your thoughts were focused on me.
You shopped for presents for others.
Although you felt out of place.
When each day was over,
I could see loneliness written on your face.
You can't seem to get into the spirit.
To enjoy any festivities this year.
But think of the Christmases in the past,
and you'll feel my presence near.
Yes, and I come tonight to let you know
I'm happier than I could ever be.
I'm spending my Christmas in Heaven;
With the one who died for me.
So go out and feel that Christmas cheer.
Listen to the choirs as they sing.
And know that I'm happier than I've ever been...
Spending Christmas with the King.
It Won't Seem Like Christmas
Words & music by J.A. Balthrop, performed by Elvis Presley
Oh, it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you
Far too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing I'm waiting for
Well then I'll se you tonight in my dreams
Seems a long time since we've been together
It was just about to this time of the year
Looks like it's gonna be snowy weather
How I wish that you could be here
But it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you
Far too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing that I'm wishing for
Then I'll see you tonight in my dreams
In the distance I hear sleigh bells ringing
The holly is so pretty this year
And the carol that somebody's singing
Reminds me of our Christmas last year
LIGHT A CANDLE
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I keep on moving on, you know it's not the same.
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold onto the love and life we knew.
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.

When you're little, it's easy to assume that everyone's life is just like yours. And it's not until you're grown and out in the world that you realize how truly special your own family really is. You two have been the heart of the family, always ready with encouragement, support, and understanding. It's obvious now that the feelings of closeness and home didn't just happen... but were because of having a mother and dad like you. Merry Christmas We love you both very much love, Michael
"In addition, I have a Christmas Award. And sending that to you too. The words on this award came from my poem, Friends At My Fingertips."
Dear Kaye, how appropriate that you have given your Christmas award for this web page, and I just realized that I have one of your poems on here... just as if it was truly meant to be...
