Poem
Christmas is more than December It is so much more than I can remember, So why does the season begin in the summer When it’s not the time to purchase the plunder? I have no reason to be early for the season When the man in the suit arrives in the rain And the kids begin to moan, give mum and dad pain; If Christmas comes but once a year, How can I honestly be of good cheer The whole year round, when all I see are falling tears, When the time to care for all disappears; I have no reason to stop and stare When the kids and the elves are flying through air And the only words I hear are, how much for a pair? Why do we celebrate just once a year? For Christmas should be a time with no fear And the festivity should be every day with no tears, When all the gifts in the world try to compare That nothing really gets folk to care When the suited man and his elves are riding high The only gift comes from above, as angels fill the sky; If Christmas came every day, it would be easy to love; But while it only arrives in December It should be easy for all to remember That Christmas begins in the heart; For the Christ was born, lived and grew, becoming part Of the history of us, and living after his death When the rebirth became a gift to the heart; We can celebrate Christ’s birth at Christmas With friends and family together en masse; To push out the man in the suit and those elves Will set hearts free and be great for the health! So why not celebrate Christmas all year round With love in our hearts, enough to surround The world with the sense that Christ is found; Christmas is more than December It is so much more than I can remember, So when the season begins in the heat of summer Let’s share God’s love and declare the ember Is fired up, and the light is born today When the man in the suit arrives in the rain We can send him away, and tell him again and again; Christmas is the time to remember That what we celebrate in December Is the birth of the Christ, deep in the night And the angels sing out the glad news; Today and tomorrow, the birth of God’s morrow Is good news for the whole year through So celebrate this honest truth by wishing to all, Christ’s Birthday greetings around the world.
