Christmas
Christmas is a time of year
Our hearts are made to sing
Of life, love, and family;
And all the joy they bring.
Sounds of laughter fill the air.
Children scurry around;
Bouncing, with each step, where 'ere
Festivities are found.
Friendships warm our heart and soul,
Stirring hope 'til it's aglow.
Hugs are generally welcomed
By everyone we know.
Lights add sparkle to our eyes.
Peace exudes our very soul.
When we let the Christ-child in,
Christmas can make us whole.

Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority.
