Vietnam. Christmas Party. Miguel de la Borda,
Panama. MAJ Alessandro Di Taddeo, 550th MP
Detachment, 8th Special Forces talks with small
boy on rocking horse during the Christmas party. 5 Jan 1971.
I pray a lot during the Christmas season, giving my
thanks to the Lord. I have 3 children, so at the same
time, I must teach them the true meaning of Christmas
which is the birth of Jesus. It also means we as a family
decorate the inside of the house, we put up a tree, and
decorate outside. My children really love this. I also
love to give gifts and I enjoy giving to people. Of course
spending time with my family is also important. It's exciting!!

I'm Your Christmas Tree, All Brightly Lit
Author Unknown
I'm your Christmas tree, all
brightly lit,
Hung with angels, colored balls, and elves.
Underneath my boughs your presents sit,
If you've behaved yourselves.
Why must we wait till early
Christmas morn
To open up our brand-new games and toys?
Why gifts for us the day that Christ was born
If we're good girls and boys?
Now listen to your Christmas tree:
I'm wise
In all the ways of faith that you must know.
I'm here because of what I symbolize:
Green through ice and snow.
There is a world beyond what we can
see
Where, by grace of God, we can receive
God's greatest gift: to live eternally,
If only we believe.
Eternal life is what God gave to you
In sending down His son to live on Earth.
This was His gift, so Santa brings gifts, too,
To celebrate Christ's birth.
The baby Jesus got gifts on this day
Because, like any child, He loved to play.
And so God wants to share this special joy
With every girl and boy.
Believe God loves you as your
parents do,
And takes great joy in giving gifts to you.
Live well and love, and evergreen like me,
You'll live eternally.
