'Twas the night before Christmas
and all over the blog . . .
All the grandkids were reading
and drinking eggnog?

Okay, so I'm not as great a story poet as
Clement C. Moore. But if you read his
famous book tonight, you will find a Christmas "x"
near the very last page:
"But I heard him e_ _ _ _ _ _,
ere he drove out of sight,
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night."
 

For a Christmas "y" sing this little song:
"_ _ _ better watch out;
_ _ _ better not cry;
Better not pout;

I'm telling _ _ _ why:

Santa Claus is comin' to town."

And last of all . . .
Once you are all snug in your bed with visions of
sugarplums dancing in your head, ask Mom

or Dad to put a sticker on the letter "Zzzzzzz".

Merry Christmas Eve!

You may admire my brand new nativity set as you

 sing "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head;
The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, _ _ _ _ _ _ on the hay."

Read some Christmas scriptures today in Luke 2:13-14 . . .

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude
of heavenly host praising God, and saying,
_ _ _ _ _ to God in the highest, and
 on earth peace, _ _ _ _ will toward men."

Once upon a time an 8-year-old girl named

You can find the answer to her question by reading

"Who hangs with the bow and the mistletoe?
_ _ _ _ _ _ bugs winging to and fro."

If you don't have a copy of Wade's book to read,
try singing the song that starts:

and then you'll know the word-of-the-day when you
get to the "bells" part!

and the sweet smell of baking fills the house . . .

"Then hang your _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ where they can't
be missed and tuck your presents beneath the tree."

Sing a primary song that goes like this:

A loving mother laid her baby
In a manger filled with hay.
