THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Does it mean the turkey roast

Or fairy lights on splendid tree

An aching hand from writing cards

Just what does Christmas mean to me?

 

Does it mean a trail round shops

And presents wrapped for all to see

And "are you ready?" people ask

Just what does Christmas mean to me?

 

Does it mean a time of stress

The senseless rush I can agree,

Family feuds and those alone

Just what does Christmas mean to me

 

A tiny helpless child was born

Our Saviour and Redeemer He.

God’s gift of love to everyone

Christmas means this much to me.

 

I wonder when our Lord looks down

In sadness, shakes His head to see

The selfishness in many hearts

May Christmas mean your heart set free.

The way to Christmas lies through an ancient gate....It is a little gate, child-high, child-wide, and there is a password:
"Peace on earth to men of good will. "May you, this Christmas, become as a little child again and

enter into His kingdom.

Angelo Patri

Christmas began in the heart of God. It is complete only when

it reaches the heart of man.
