"what Christmas Really Means"

There was a man buying a Christmas tree.
The tree was so small he wanted it for free.

We should stop and think what Christmas really means.
It's all about Jesus Christ not all those football teams.

A gift is not just about material things.
A gift from the heart is better than a bee sting. 

Wanted to sell Christmas decorations and so much more.
They were so expensive so I just fell to the floor.

On this Christmas day of joy and love.
Stop and give praise to our Lord above.
