Clie Glzristmas p 'fit 4 You know it by the hustling of the people, and the empty department store shelves The merry Christmas music, and the ringing of the bells. lt's seen on happy people's faces, and on season greeting cards, People's picture windows, and gaily lighted yards. And yet in a manger asleep in the hay, lay the little baby Jesus on the first Christmas day. The spirit was the shepherds who followed the bright star and the three Wise Men, who came from afar. There was no hustling of the people or empty store shelves. Nlerry Christmas music or ringing of the bells. Happy people's faces on season greeting cards, People's picture windows and gaily lighted yards. Just the little oxen stable, where the baby Jesus lay, on the first Christmas morning asleep in the hay. -Loretta Cryan
