I  am looking for the poem and instructions that go along with using a large  
nail...signifying the nails used on the cross at Jesus'  crucifixion


Here are a few more poems I  found:
 
 
It's  Christmas time at our house
and  we're putting up the tree.
I  wish I could find some simple way
to  remember Christ's gift to me.
Some  little sign or symbol
to  show friends stopping by,
The  little babe was born one day
but  He really came to die.
Some  symbol of His nail-pierced hands,
the  blood He shed for you and me.
What  if I hung a simple nail
on  my shining Christmas tree?
A  crimson bow tied round the nail
as  His blood flowed down so free,
To  save each person from their sin
and  redeem us for eternity.
I  know it was His love for us
that  held Him to the tree,
But  when I see this simple nail
I  know He died for me. 
Our  Savior, Light of the World Rejoicing, we tell the Nativity story, when 
the Light  of the World came in brilliance and glory. But still we remember 
there is more  to be told -- His great sacrifice that was yet to unfold . . . For 
His mission  as Savior could not be complete until heavy nails pierced His 
hands and His  feet. So may we recall both the gift of His birth, and the gift 
of salvation He  gave to all on earth. --Lisa O. Engelhardt. 
Merry Christmas

are better throughout the year  for having, in spirit, become a child again at 
Christmas-time." ~Laura Ingalls  Wilder
