Step Into Christmas!

Step Into Christmas!

Welcome to my Christmas song

I'd like to thank you for the year

So I'm sending you this Christmas card

To say it's nice to have you here

I'd like to sing about all the things

Your eyes and mind can see

So hop aboard the turntable...

Oh step into Christmas with me

Step into Christmas

Let's join together

We can watch the snow fall forever and ever

Eat, drink and be merry

Come along with me

Step into Christmas

The admission's free

Take care in all you do next year

And keep smiling through the days

If we can help to entertain you

Oh we will find the ways

So Merry Christmas one and all

There's no place I'd rather be

Than asking you if you'd oblige by

Stepping into Christmas with me!

Oh step, step into Christmas
Oh, forever and ever
Yeah, come along with me!

Just in the "Nick" of Time!

Feliz Navidad!  Joyieux Noel!

Rejoice and Proclaim "Joy to the World"!

When we found this special Nativity we just had to get it for you! Look closely, it's different: All eyes are on Baby Jesus. And, I love that it has the Christmas Story scripture from the gospels engraved in the robes of every figure, from Mary and Joseph and the Angel to the shepherd and wisemen. I just want to stand in front of it and ponder the miracle!

Oh, Worship the King!

Beautiful Christian Ornaments!

Madonna and Child

We Three Kings

Beautiful Crosses

Chrysallis Butterfly

Inspirational Calendar with Scripture and artwork on
every page motivates us to be better!

The cross is for everyone!

Graffiti cross appeals to younger set especially!

Christmas isn't just a holiday; it's a magical time of the year! It's the celebration of the Birthday of The King! Jesus Christ! The "Reason for the Season"!  It's so clear! The "magical" part is the effect He has on all of our hearts, we all seem to Love One Another more, overflow with love for those we know, even those we don't know. Yes, I'm going to ponder the miracle once again and love more next year!  So Merry Christmas Y'all!

Love ya' Honey!
