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!
