It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
& in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
& when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve & these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
& I know these shoes would make her smile
& I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned & he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
It's sad that the usual hate-filled trolls have to spread their dissatisfaction with the world around them any time someone wishes to share a positive message. They cannot have happiness in life, so they try to invalidate the happiness of others.
This blog was very touching, and it was interesting to see a perspective of Christmas from a non-Christian viewpoint.
Quoth Nope.aviquote]Gangsta doesn't realize that this is better than anything he has ever made. His blogs are convoluted messes that only serve as trollbait. Astra can do nothing but copypaste and there's still meaning. She didn't just copypaste, there is original content, but at least her blogs don't suck.

<br>Get out Gangsta, nobody wants you here. And good blog Astra.

O fine, if copy/pasting makes a blog then ill go make 50. It takes little effort to do this, and when another member did this all of you called him out for it.Let's not ruin a good blog.
One more thing, The Ram no one gives a crap about your opinion. LinkZelda, how hypocritical of you to say.

Its funny because if Christmastime is a time to spend happiness with friends, family, people, etc. why are you giving negative comments and being rude to one another? o-0
