“Manger Song”
Young Mary the Mother
Gazed fondly at Him,
And softly fingered
The manger's rim.
St. Joseph sat musing
On a bundle of hay,
The shepherds played sweetly
A bagpipe lay.
The angels stood smiling
In heaven's joy
And humbly adoring
The infant Christ-boy.
The ox and the donkey
Forgot the fresh straw
And knelt down in wonder
At what they saw.
The walls were shining
Like molten gold,
The winds sang gaily
Around the fold.
And gleaming silver
Strewed every star,
And sang a star greeting
From heaven afar.

“Thanks, Thanks and Thanks Again!”
December 6th - Santa’s Elves were out in full force to

December 10th - After all the shopping was done, then
began the gift wrapping of all those wonderful
presents. Many thanks to these people for spending a
Tuesday evening making sure the kids had beautifully
wrapped gifts to open. The attendees at the wrapping
party for the Christmas party for kids were:
Charlie and Celia Conrad Jeff Muessig

December 11th - Christmas Party for the kids at Hella
Temple hosted by Exchange and Rotary. Decorating began
at 10:30 a.m. The event was a wonderful success again
this year. The children had a great lunch and the
entertainment was exceptional. Of course, the main
event was Santa and the presents. The children’s faces
made everything very worthwhile. The kids always get
so excited but I think the Exchange members enjoy this
event more. What a great time to see the true “Miracle
of Christmas.” If you were not able to attend, you
missed a great event. Thanks again to all the members
who attended and enjoyed the spirit of Christmas.
Thank you to the following for making this event so
wonderful:
Hella Temple, Stan McGill and the South Garland
Showboaters, Walmart, Mervyns, Blue Bell Ice Cream,
Michael Pendleton and Al Longoria for the Pizza, Gary
Engleman for Santa, Chase Bank for hosting the
wrapping party, Beverly McNamara for decorating for
this beautiful event.
“Special thanks goes to Don Tinius for all of his
tireless effort and hours of attention to make such a
great event run smoothly. And it showed!”
