Christmas Joy
Our Christmas comes but once a year
as we behold that special day-
a time of giving and of cheer.
We deck the halls within our sphere
with a grand tree put on display-
adorned with lights both front and rear.
And in between, collections, dear-
showcased past years, then stored away,
we hang once more, each souvenir.
But most of all, with love sincere
beneath the tree, the bright array-
of thoughtful gifts we choose, appear.
Fine presents chosen, show it's clear
each one will hopefully convey
the Christmas blessings- we adhere.
With hopes, this spirit will cohere
and last beyond this day- we pray
it spreads across New Year's frontier-
to keep that joy of Christmas near.
