Symbolic handmade Chrismons adorn live Christmas tree
A tradition at Clayton United Methodist Church has been handed down through generations year after year. Once again, the sanctuary of the church is decorated for services during the Christmas season. Each week during Advent a candle is lighted representing Hope, Peace, Love and Joy during the 9 a.m. morning worship service. A special Christmas Eve service will be held at 5 p.m.during which the story of Jesus’ birth is shared. The Christ candle will be lighted during the service. Dr. Larry Teasley, minister at the church, encourages the public to attend this inspirational and meaningful service.
‘Twas the Night before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas. when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the luster of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; 'Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!' As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
