A Little Star From Heaven
The tree in the church  yard seemed  dazzling and
bright; It shone for miles in the darkness of night, But high up above and far out into space The tiniest little star cried m dismay.
A tumble and one fall brought him closer in view To the dim little town and all at once he knew That the quiet little church yard needed to embrace His sharp lustrous body from far outer space.
The view was a symbol of strength from above It made the world seem a reflection of love. But still the star cried out in dismay, For the top of the tree was a barren display.
As the little star began its great flight Toppling and falling closer through the night, A soft, white snow began to fall on the scene And cover the world with a freshness serene.
And there, Christmas morning, perched a-lop of the
tree, A luminous little star shone down for all to see His journey was indeed a thrill, he knew all this was
meant. For the smiles he brought to others were his gift for
the descent.
Time would once again pass by His light would flicker, fade, and die^ High up above another little star somewhere far away With a tumble and one fall would descend on still another Christmas Day.

The Village Store
(Yuletid*   Memories)
Come agedn the Christmas season	
Vivid memories wake once more
Of a small mid-western village
And a place called "Schmolz's Store."
Brave in all its Christmas trappings, Gaily decked with dolls and toys, Once a year supreme attraction For the village girls and boys. '^
How we hurried front the schoolhouse Soon dS study hours were o'er, Flocked like noisy,  chotterrng magpies To the thrills of "Schmalz's,Store"!      ' "~^'
Ah, the dolls! So truly gofgeous! Satin skirted, teeth like pearls,
Sleeping eyes and flaxj^n tresses ;
Made,to torture little ^irls.
'Old McOci" games and ribbon candy. Peanut brittle,, bdlky muleis, ^j^
Picture books and "Christmas mixture", ^P Toy pianos, mimic tools;
Dolly buggies, cunning Uatirons,
Marbles, tops, and dominoes	
Everything to help old Santa Stuff the stocking to the toes.
Candy bead strings, rainbow candles,
Fruits ne'er seen on land or sea. Red-striped canes and tinsel garlands. Glistening angels for the trae;
Ropes of green and bells o! scarlet,
"Live-forever — wieaths of holly	
Nothing lacking one might wish for To make Christmas bright and jolly.
Years have po.ssod and time in jxtssing Changes bring to toe and you,
Cities fall and kingdoms tumble >-
The little store has vanished, too	
But could anyone who knew it Thirty years ago or more Ever half forget the splendors Christmas brought to Schmolz's Store
