Christmas can be a very sad and difficult time of year for those who have lost someone dear to them. But it should be a time of joy for all of us, bittersweet though it may be. I hope this may help.

My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
Reflecting in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here

I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it's beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
From my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
Of my undying love.

After all,love is a gift more precious
Than pure gold.
It was always most important
In the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
As my father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings or the love
He has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas
and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
