Christmas in Heaven

"How do they celebrate Christmas in heaven?"
the little boy asked, who was no more than seven.

His grandma had gone to be with the Lord.
He wanted to know if she would be bored
up in the clouds, so high in the sky,
while everyone here just wanted to cry.

His grandfather lifted the boy on his knee.
He said: "Close your eyes and listen to me."
