Merry Christmas---Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas 

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN and I had a talk
In a WINTER FAIRY LAND. 
The snow got so deep that I could not walk,
So, on his SLED I did stand. 

We talked about TOYS and TRIMMING trees.
We talked about ELVES and SLEIGH BELLS and bees!
We talked about songs and sang, "JINGLE BELLS".
We talked about CHRISTMAS and all it's intel.  

He told me a story of long ago 
When a baby was born one winter's snow
We talked about angels---How they did sing!
Glory to God for the new born King...!

After the story, I felt kinda sad.
Why would This man have to die if not bad?
He said so we could all forever live
Free from our sins...because He would forgive!

So, next I asked him about SANTA CLAUSE.
He got real quiet, then said with a pause...
His suit represents all blood-covered sins. 
The white trim is each of us...new again...

Then on each Christmas a gift Santa brings...
It's always free! And there's not any strings!
To remind us of the gift Jesus brings...
And of the hope He gives us in all things. 

So, Merry Christmas! I say to each one...
Happy New Year! And may You know God's son!
