We like to celebrate family birthdays, don’t you ? (And we celebrate Jesus’ birthday every year, too.)
All the stores have special sales on-line and downtown,
Decorations glitter on houses all around.
We do like that nice music, some we remember,
And it’s already the first of December !
Time to bake yummy deserts, or buy in some store,
We expect our favorites, but also try much more.
Of course, lots of Christmas cards we will mail.
And some places get lots of snow, without fail !
Presents our mom and our aunties had made brought cheer,
We looked forward to that happiest day of the year.
Yes, special programs at church there would be,
Kids and grownups dressed up; who would we see ?
That whole month was so special we never would forget;
Photos now help our memories, shows even our pet.
Now, my siblings married and moved, parents have died,
What I still have are special feelings inside.
Since all those happy days are past, so it is time
to put some important words into Christmas rhyme,
Jesus is the reason for the season — that’s real !
Bible truth, eternal life, sins forgiven, peace you’ll feel.
A BIG commitment, Heaven after dying here !
God’s wonderful plan, NOW receive His grace, your time is near !
