Christmas Lights in Heaven
At Christmas time we trim our tree
With gifts and candy canes
And go for joyful sleigh rides
Down sparking snow filled lanes.
We fill our homes with tinsel
Our hearts with Christmas cheer
We're all a little nicer
At this lovely time of year.
Stores are filled with shoppers
Streets are trimmed in green
Carolers on each corner
Tis' quite a lovely scene.
But we cannot know the beauty
The splendor or the love
Of Christmas time in heaven
With our Savior up above.
The light that shines from Jesus
Stands out from all the rest
Of all the Christmas time displays
His is by far the best.
Like diamonds shining in the sun
You'll find His flaming light
Like a million candles burning
In the middle of the night.
The colors found in heaven
Have such a wondorous glow
And you'll find a world of beauty
Where the golden rivers flow.
There won't be gifts or mistletoe
Nor stately Christmas tree
But the throne of God will glisten
With the Blessed Trinity.

"May you live all the days of your life."
- Jonathan Swift
In Victorian England, turkeys were popular for Christmas dinners. Some of the birds were raised in Norfolk, and taken to market in London. To get them to London, the turkeys were supplied with boots made of sacking or leather. The turkeys were walked to market. The boots protected their feet from the frozen mud of the road. Boots were not used for geese: instead, their feet were protected with a covering of tar.
