I had the nicest Christmas list,
The longest one in town,
Till Daddy looked at it and said,
“You’ll have to cut it down.”
I knew that what he said was true
Beyond the faintest doubt,
But was amazed to hear him say,
“You’ve left your best Friend out.”
And so I scanned my list again,
And said, “Oh, that’s not true!”
But Daddy said, “His name’s not there,
That Friend that died for you.”
And then I clearly understood,
‘Twas Jesus that he meant;
For Him who should come first of all
I hadn’t planned a cent!
I’d made a Christmas birthday list,
And left the Saviour out!
But, oh, it didn’t take me long
To change the list about.
And tho’ I’ve had to drop some names of folks I like a lot,
My Lord must have the most-because HIS NAME IS AT THE TOP!

A father and daughter were out shopping for a Christmas tree. The father wanted just the right tree, and pulled out 2-3 for his daughter to consider. After several false starts, the little girl ran up to her daddy all excited, saying, “Daddy, I found the perfect tree!” She led him over to it, and to his disappointment, he saw a small, wilted, almost lifeless tree. He said to her, ‘Honey, this tree is pathetic! It’s not anywhere near as pretty as the other trees.” To which his daughter replied, “I know, Daddy, but we can take it home and make it beautiful.
