What Does Christmas Mean To Me

What Does Christmas Mean To Me

Christmas,Christmas,what does it mean to me,It used to mean presents under a decorative green tree. Where Moma and Dad bought presents from the store,
they put them in the garage, closets, and more.
My brothers and sisters would gather all around,singing Christmas carols all through the town. We sing songs about Santa Claus, Rudolph, and 
Jingle Bells,White Christmas, and others like, Silver Bells.
There was lots of food for us all to eat,like fruit, deserts, and 
yes lots of meat. We even had some of our Aunties sweet treats,we had hot cider, hot chocolate, and other sweet drinks.
But now it's not as important as it used to be, because I met 
Jesus who was born to set me free. He is the true reason why 
Christmas is here, He brings us hope and sweet grace is near.
He was born in a manger, out in the cold, sent down to earth, and 
finished what He was told. There was sheep, cattle, camels and more, 
there were Angels Shepherds, for us all to adore, yes He was born to 
die for me and you, All He ask is for us to be true.
You ask me what Christmas has meant to me, well it isn't the presents 
under the tree, to me it's the Master, Almighty, and Savior these three,
Yes this is what Christ-M-A-S really means to me.
