What Christmas Means To Me

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME

I have celebrated Christmas for seventy-three years,
some were quite happy and some brought me tears.
It wasn't until God stepped into my life that I found
the true spirit of Christmas and spread it around.

It isn't just the presents under the Christmas tree,
there's something deeper and meaningful for me.
A small country church where voices raise in song,
to worship Jesus, and praise for Him never is wrong.

Believe what you will, but I am finally at true peace,
knowing that problems don't last and will soon cease
when the lights on the Christmas tree twinkle and shine,
I know God's in His Heaven, and Peace will be mine.

Where ever you are and whatever you can do
to make your Christmas happy, it's all up to you.
I treasure the cards that I get from family and friends,
and I miss seeing the children, but love never ends.

You ask "what Christmas means to me" and I say
that it's not just the presents or a fun-filled holiday.
It's a time to give thanks for the blessings I have here,
a time for memories, seventy-three years worth, this year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS - Keep CHRIST in Christmas
Don't X-mas it away - for He is the REASON for the season!
