Christmas joy

What does Christmas mean to you
Maybe presents wrapped in blue
Or do your thoughts tend to stray
To a far off yesterday
Where a Holy Infant small
Was born in a manger stall
A Savior born for you and me
That's what Christmas was meant to be
But oh, how soon it is forgotten
By the need to fill the stocking
The tree is standing, oh! good looking
The sweet aroma of home cooking
Hustle bustle do our shopping
Spend our money till we're dropping
Put it on a credit card
Decorate the house and yard
Go into debt, oh! how we hate it
Cancel Christmas has been debated
Tension soon begins to mount
From the balance of our bank account
But it don't have to be that way
I muster courage now to say
For the season has been shook
From looking through our pocketbook
By looking through our hearts we find
The cheer of tranquil peace of mind
We share the joy the tidings bring
And join in what the angels sing
Peace on earth, Goodwill to men
A virgin birth, the Fathers plan
Recalling now can be so pleasing
CHRIST IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
