Merry Christmas

Christmas isn't showy gifts


Or glittering decoration;

It's honoring our Savior, Jesus Christ

In humble adoration.


It's serving those less fortunate,

Meeting their needs before our own;

It's making sure at Christmas time

That no one is alone.


It's taking what we would have spent

On things that no one needs,

And using it to help someone

With service and good deeds.


Our Savior showed us how to live

With charity, faith and service.

It makes the holidays a joy,

More peaceful, and less nervous.


So let's remember Christmas is

About our Savior's birth;

That's the way to happiness,

The way to peace on earth.
