Christmas Magic

The Christmas season starts earlier every year Even before Thanksgiving, causing us to fear That merchants spoil it, that it’s all about selling That nothing can save it, nothing worth the telling But soon we realize, we love this time of year When our mailboxes daily bring words of cheer When friends get together, sharing delicious fare Exchanging thoughtful gifts, chosen with care When the world lights up in multicolored hue As stars and Angels, yes, Santa and reindeer too We don’t mind Santa, we know the real deal We know all about Jesus, and how we really feel It seems like magic, the changes taking place When music everywhere takes on a new face Telling again the story we never tire of hearing Of a baby born to man, a King of humble bearing When the stars shine brighter and hope is reborn Just as it was on that first Christmas morn Our hearts are made tender, our spirits revive Two thousand years later, because He’s still alive!
