To what degree of humbleness be,
Coming into the world at a stable…

Oh what a way to begin ones stay,
‘Specially one through whom all things are able…

A man he will be, to set all of us free,
From our sins that bind like a cable…

Our homage to pay, on this Christmas day,
Welcome one and all to his table.

A quiet day approaches its end…

The setting sun sets the sky ablaze…

Red, orange, yellow, like liquid fire spanning across the horizon…

A view you would love to varnish and keep forever, the beauty in your mind.

I invite you to join in the challenge at any time!

This chimney here is made of brick,
Square, solid, and sound…

A special man zips down it quick,
Though he is quite round…

A bit of magic Christmas Eve,
Allows for such a feat…

He slips right through just like a sieve,
And doesn’t feel the heat…

Bringing gifts as children sleep,
Moving as time flows…

And with a wink he leans in deep,
The chimney, up he goes!
