Soon it will be Christmas with all that Christmas brings,
The Santa's Sleigh, and reindeer, the cards, and gifts and things,
The decorations, lights, and fairies on the trees
With hot mince pies, turkey, and candy canes for me.

The festivities have all begun, its Christmas time once more,
The tree is all aglitter and there's pine needles on the floor,
Daddy wrapping presents, and Mum is baking breads,
Sisters hanging mistletoe right above our heads.

This shopping, spending money to which there seems no end
Now what could we have forgotten, to buy, to wrap to send,
Ah! Now I do remember, the one thing we forgot
Sometime this Christmas season we need to pause in thought.

Put aside the buying, and remember our Savior's birth,
Relax and think of why He really came to earth
It's not about Old St Nick, or Fairies on the tree.
It's about the birth of a baby, who was born for you and me.

In writing this for you today it helps me to remember,
Why I'm all a fluster for the whole month of December,
Panicking and worrying that I'll be already for the day
However, when I relax and think of it, all I have to do is say

Have a very happy Christmas and remember that baby boy,
Who came to earth so long ago, to bring us love and joy,
All we really need to do this Christmas season through,
Is return the love he brought to us, and I share it now with you.

Sometime this Christmas season, remember just for a while
The reason for the lights, the gifts, and just relax and smile.
