About Christmas



 



What to write about Christmas ---



Holly sprigs and mistletoe,



Fireplaces warm - all aglow,



Shoppers as they come and go,



Children playing in the snow,



Gifts all wrapped , a pretty show,



Greetings sent to “Jim and Flo”



 



Think I’ll write about Christmas ---



About the day Christ was born



In a stable all forlorn,



How Mary, through days of scorn,



God’s servant, all travel-worn,



Birthed our Savior on that morn.



Royalty, yet unadorned.



 



Think I’ll write about Christmas ---



Jesus came without a shout.



Yes, that’s what it’s all about.



Angels proclaimed – there’s no doubt,



To shepherds who had no clout.



‘Twas an unexpected route.



Disciples would His grace tout.



My sin He has blotted out.



 



I’ll live eternally because I truly believe Him!
