To Make God Happy

Not all about a fancy tree
  or menorah made of gold
Though holidays be times of joy
  there's a story to be told

Maccabees fought the mighty Greeks
  to uphold Israel's proud tradition
Christians fete the Savior's birth
  Prince of Peace and their religion

And with each story lessons to be learned
  without regard to fame or fortunes earned
Instead they teach that God's made happy
  when the poor and lonely are not spurned

So touching Gershon, giving to the less fortunate is a certain must, especially at Christmas, but actually all the year round. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
