Two Wonderful Gifts

December is known for short days and snow,
and for frozen skies over oceans that billow,
in the midst of winter's winds fiercely howling: 
God chose the coldest day for Christ's coming!

In some countries, Nativity scenes
are staged alive as in the town of Assisi,
don't skip the arrival of the Magi
riding those camels that bring three gifts!

No night is more festive than Christmas,
listen to kids caroling from door to door,
their love for Jesus is a delight to explore;  
greet them with joy, pause your chores!

Everybody must remember that Jesus
was the Redeemer, the Lamb of sacrifice,
Herod hunted this child because of envy,
he wanted to be the king chosen by destiny! 

December brings us two wonderful gifts:
one is snow, the other is pure grace;
the Shepherd seeks His stranded sheep,
who lost their way by a steep creek!
