A Coming Together
Of Family and Friends
These times of years
When friends
Stop and call
It's Christmas after all
Christmas Lights
Adorn the tree
As all the presents we see
People open their hearts with joy
On this Christmas Day
Best wishes are given
As with toys the little children play
We seek to know
All of the reasons
Of this Christmas Season
And though the reason why
The new baby Jesus
This Christ child was born
On the First Christmas Morn

Family and friends
Rushing from store to store
And the beauty of the season
Should last forever more
Season's Greetings on a card
And Santa's bells ring
And the Christmas
Carol's sing
Snowflakes twirl
Through the air
As Christmas trees from
The windows stare
Season's Greetings meet the evening
As the children laugh and play
And soon they'll open their presents
On a Christmas Day

On that first Christmas morn
When the Christ child was born
We celebrate his birth
And worship and praise
And thank god for sending his son to save
On that first Christmas
The beautiful star shined
In the early morn
The day Christ was born
What a beautiful morn
What a wonderful day
The day Christ came
On that first Christmas morn
When the Christ child was born
Oh Holy Night
A vision of delight
A lonely star did shine
To make that Holy Night bright

The Christmas Angel comes each year
To spread around the Christmas cheer
Though the angels seldom appear
They are still there so do not fear
And listening with the keenest ear
You will never ever be able to hear
The Christmas angel standing near
But she will look over those near and dear
As she spreads around the Christmas cheer
Then the heavenly presence we revere
Twill be gone again again until next year
