We try to keep Christmas from getting too hectic, too expensive, too commercial, and too busy to enjoy. We want the celebration to be special with the family and for the focus to be where it belongs. I want to share a poem written by Christina Georgina Rossetti and give honor to Jesus and offer my assistance in some internet sites to save you time and money this busy season:
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb.
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part,
Yet what can I give Him?
Give my heart.(Christina Georgina Rossetti)
