PART 4: THE FORGOTTEN ONES
Among all the children, orphans and others, is there anyone who has been forgotten? someone who also wants to enjoy Christmas?

The little girl sees the dolls in the shop. She wants to also own one and play, just like the other children. Who will get her one?








The two sisters pray. They are also waiting for the Baby Jesus.













Merry Christmas! Its here! The village is all lit up.













The children go out to see the Christmas tree.










The two sisters are together. They seem to be forgotten by the others. They are all alone. Who will think of them?













The elder sister prays for them both. Please Jesus, do not forget us. We also want to have fun like all the other children.













Is Jesus listening? Is God listening? Will anyone remember the two Lost Ones?













Two friendly cat pals watch the Lost Sisters.










There is a feast. We eat dinner for Christmas and have fun. There is wine and turkey and fruits and icecream. Its been a good Christmas.












The fireplace is still lit. The stockings are still waiting for gifts from Santa. Will the Lost Sisters get their gift like everyone else?








Dr. Zhivago:
Some day my love, there will be songs to sing...
And then its a gift!

i hope and pray that everyone in your family also is enjoying this Christmas 2008. God bless.

Aaron

ECARD : Happy Christmas 2008 from Carrigtwohill, Ireland: Part 2: The Christmas Tradition

hello once again:

you may send this card to your friends and can also use the images as you see fit. Just make sure that people know its from me and leave in my copyright intact. its at the bottom of this page.

Merry Christmas 2008.

The story card continues on.

PART 2: THE CHRISTMAS TRADITION
We first go to church and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Then, we go out and celebrate. In the towns and in the home, there are Christmas trees decorated with gifts at the bottom for the entire family. Stockings are kept for Santa to fill with gifts. of course, this is a typical North American or European Christmas tradition. It may be different in your country where you may not have snow.

Christmas is now a Christian festival to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.










Christmas trees are decorated in the snow next to Church.










After Christmas midnight mass, everyone comes out to celebrate.










Yay! Its Christmas









A beautiful Christmas tree decorated in the snow.










Christmas is a time for everyone in the land to celebrate.
A tree is decorated in the middle of the street for the town.










A snowman dances through the snow. Its a White Christmas!










See the beautiful tree decorated in the library with gifts.









Another beautiful tree near the fireplace.










A tree for the children.










And another tree for the entire family with stockings for the gifts from Santa.








take care,

Aaron
