Christmas Stories/Poems (CC) - Help!


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a really good Christmas story (short) or poem that is suitable for a church bulletin? Over the last few years I have exhausted my supply of material and have just spent the last hour searching the internet for something worthwhile. Either the links led to other links, or to secular stories, or to stories that were much too long. Perhaps something has been printed in your bulletin that you could share (along with the author or reference, please . . .)? I need suggestions for the next two Sundays.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

The beginning of chapter 2, the one about Christmas in Little Women, where they receive their copies of Pilgrim's Progress?

 

"Ring Out Wild Bells", from In Memoriam, by Tennyson?

 

"Christmas," by John Betjeman?

 

"Meditation on Christmas Eve", by Angelo Roncalli, who was later Pope John XXIII (scroll down one entry)

 

"A Christmas Carol," by G. K. Chesterton?

 

"Journey of the Magi," by T. S. Eliot?

Evie Tornquist - One Small Child lyrics

 

One small child in a land of a thousand

One small dream of a savior tonight

One small hand reaching out to the starlight

One small city of light

 

One king bringing his gold and his riches

One king ruling an army of might

One king kneeling with incense and candlelight

One king bringing us life

 

See him lying, a cradle beneath him

See him smiling in the straw

See his mother praising his father

See his tiny eyelids fall

 

One small light from the flame of a candle

One small light from a city of light

One small light from the stars in the endless night

One small light from his face

 

See the shepherds kneeling before him

See the kings on bended knee

See the mother praising his father

See the blessed infant sleep

 

One small child in a land of a thousand

One small dream of a people of light

One small hand reaching out to the starlight

One small savior of life
