Christmas Time

Greeting cards and gifts
Candy canes galore
Lights and stockings
The beautiful Christmas decor 

A roaring fireplace
Families coming together as one
Children laughing
Taking in the holiday fun

Decorating the tree
And Christmas cookies baking
Times like these
Are memories in the making

The Christmas story read
Silent Night playing slow
And the quiet whisper
Of the falling snow

The hint of Christmas pine
And Christmas carolers singing
And the musical chime
Of Christmas bells ringing

A cop of hot coco
Mistletoe, poinsettias and holly
And also St. Nick
Makes this holiday season jolly

But it’s not about the gifts
Or the accessories that complete this season
It’s about our family and Lord
That gives Christmas a reason
