Hang up the baby's stocking
Be sure you don't forget!
The dear little dimpled darling,
She never saw Christmas yet!
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big blue eyes;
And I'm sure she understood it-
She looked so funny and wise.
Dear, what a tiny stocking!
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toe's as baby's
Away from the frost and the cold
But then, for the baby's Christmas,
It will never do at all.
Why! Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small.
I know what I will do for the baby.
I've thought of the very best plan.
I'll borrow a stocking of Grandma's,
The longest that ever I can
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother,
Right here in the corner so!
And leave a letter to Santa,
And fasten it in the toe.
Write this is the baby's stocking,
That hangs in the corner here.
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year
But she's just the blessed'st baby.
And now before you go,
Just cram her stocking with goodies,
From the top clean down to the toe!
- Christmas Poem by Emily Huntington Miller
'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there.
- Christmas Quote by Clement C. Moore
I truly believe that if we keep
telling the Christmas story,
singing the Christmas songs,
and living the Christmas spirit,
we can bring joy and happiness
and peace to this world.
- Christmas Quote by
Norman Vincent Peale
