Now, in case you need a little hint for all those SPECIAL words for the Henry Glass 

Grand Prize.....

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree

The Stockings were hung by the chimney with care

Angels we have heard on high

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas

To the North Pole, I'd like to go

Oh Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Santa Claus is coming to town

I only want a Candy Cane this year

Have a Holly jolly Christmas

And Presents round the tree

Ho! Ho! Ho! Who wouldn't go?

The first Noel...

Just Believe

Caroling, caroling Christmas Carols

Wrap the Tree Skirt 'round the tree

Percy the puny Poinsettia

Hang the Wreath upon your door

Ok...so I didn't make up a poem.  But I DID manage to find a song lyric for almost EVERY word!  Can you guess which one's weren't songs?

Before I sign off today, just wanted to share another one of my FAVORITE Christmas traditions.

This is a hint...it has to do with a bell...

 Yes!  It's the movie, It's a Wonderful Life!  

I LOVE this movie.  And it's become a family tradition to watch it every year.

I just found the sign (pic above) that says "It's a Wonderful Life".

I think this is one that can stay up ALL year, don't you?

And Clarence, what a lovable angel....

I have a small collection of ornaments from Bedford Falls

The Gower Drug store

The good ol' Bailey Savings and Loan

Ma Bailey's house

The famous bridge, where George decides he'd be better off jumping...

and is saved by Clarence the wingless angel.

I LOVE the message of this movie....how it depicts the importance of 

EACH person's life here on earth.  

Clarence: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

 

Zuzu Bailey: Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.
George Bailey: That's right, that's right.
George Bailey: Attaboy, Clarence. 

May we all continue to keep the Spirit of Christmas alive and strong throughout the season 

and in the year to come!

And maybe help an angel get his wings.
