Snippet
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What
if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if
Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!” ― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch
Stole Christmas!
Scripture
celebrate annually the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the
month of Adar 22 as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and
as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a
day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and
joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor. So the
Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had
written to them. Esther 9:21-23

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out whose naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
(So you'd)
Better be good for goodness sake
Better be good for goodness sake
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
(So you'd)
Better be good for goodness sake
Better be good for goodness sake
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Sentence Prayer
Father
We thank you for good
Saint Nicholas who was known for his love and care for children.
Because of his
example, we ask you to help us always to
take care of children, to protect and
guide them, and to
keep them safe. Help us to be open to all that children can teach us about pure joy and unconditional
love. May we in turn help our children to grow into the children of God that you created them to
be. Keep us mindful of the needs of others and to reach out with love and generosity as Saint
Nicholas did. We rejoice in your servant Nicholas and pray that we too may follow you with
singleness of heart and mind. Amen.
