Christmas time
it soon will come
When we gather with family
with cheer and good fun

Decorations on the tree
will sparkle with lights
The children's eyes sparkle
anticipation aflight

The presents are wrapped
and dinner is served
Christmas Eve's here
and here we are rapt

The morning does come
the children do squeal
There's nothing quite like
their childish appeal

The joy of the season
fills our hearts with much love
Lord, we are thankful
and thank you, above.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time it comes but once a year
A time of presents and play
Love and kindness and family dear
Gather to cherish the days

Some may pray and some may sing
Some might even share
Stories of much different things
Of how they've changed through the years

Whatever the season means to you
I think it's safe to say
A very Merry Christmas to you
I'll hope for a wonderful day!
