Unwrapped

Christmas does not come in a box
Wrapped up underneath the tree.
Christmas comes in the form of love
To our friends and family.

It's not about money, ribbons and bows
... But it is about - one lovely gift
The joy our Lord gave, by sending his son
To bring joy; and our hearts to lift.

Christmas to me is the joy of sharing
Laughter; friends gather from near and far.
Christmas to me is the joy of giving
A smile to my friends, wherever they are.

Now for you on this joyous season
My gift to you is simple you see,
It's for love, and peace everlasting;
But you won't find that underneath your tree!
