What I Love About Christmas

Christmas is a wonderful
Time of year, when friends
And family show the
Up-most cheer.

When honor is given
To Him which it is about,
When all our focus should
Be on Him no doubt.

But what is this I hear?
Some trying to dismiss
Its true meaning that’s
What it seems to appear?

Christ alone, it was He,
Who gave us life to enjoy,
It wasn't some kind of an
Empty, meaningless ploy.  
 
The word Holiday, is so
Empty and Celebrating
What?  Its empty cheers
Brings it But to naught.

O, the beautiful Christmas
Tree with its lights and star,
Ever pointing towards
Heaven to where You are.

Then what is this a Holiday
Tree, with meaningless
Significance as dead as
The tree will ever be.

I cherish the days gone by,
When the thoughts were
Towards Him who came,
To bleed and die.

No, raised again to share
New life evermore, this is
The thing about Christmas
I adore.

To give gifts and to buy
Trinkets in vain, is to
Deny the reason that this
Man Jesus, came.

O, the Christmas gifts given in love,
Will always remind me of the
Most precious gift given
From above.

It’s because of Him I celebrate,
There’s no emptiness found
In this date.  For life He came
To give, because of Him
I now live.

So for your Hollow-day, whoever
You are, it denotes only one
Thing, a ”Fallen Star”

The truth of the matter is,
In the end it won’t be bliss,
Because Satan will get his,
I promise you this!

O, thank You Jesus, this
Wonderful Christmas we
Celebrate, and for that Day,
I can’t wait.
