We gather on this Christmas Eve, welcomed by the fragrant smells of cookies baking and the hot chocolate with candy canes and marshmallows. Light the hearth and watch the yule log burn brightly as we sing joyous Christmas carols.

Place a wreath of berried holly on the front door and green garlands on the stairs. Snowmen standing all around and stocking hung with care. Light the candles, hang the mistletoe and add the poinsettia centerpiece.

Deck the Christmas tree with tinsel and sparkling lights then prepare to hang each ornament. Some new treasures and all the special ones that bring memories of the past. A beautiful angel placed at the top of the tree, and beneath the branches lay the manger where Jesus was born.
