" The Spirit of Christmas "

" The Spirit of Christmas "

Christmas is coming,
we know it is near
from the laughter of friends
and loved ones so dear.

It's rosy cheeked children
and snow covered ground,
a chair by the fire,
warm hearts all around.

There's plenty of shopping,
a recess from school
and gaggles of parties
where eggnog will rule.

In the hustle and bustle,
the noise and the fun,
we should not forget
the birth of God's son.

And in this great story
Christ comes alive,
on the cross he then died
so man could survive.

There's those who will argue
across all the land
but down through the ages
his message will stand.

The spirit of Christmas
is always quite near,
so let us then share it;
together, all year.
