The Real Christmas

Christmas is a holy time
To celebrate our Savior’s birth...
A time to worship and remember
God’s own gift of greatest worth.

But man would try to change it all,
Diminishing the Christmas season,
Leaving us a “holiday”
Without its God-intended reason.

Then what is left to celebrate...
The endless gifts? Or what we ate?
The Christmas trees we decorate?
Or too much cost which we create?

Let us pause and contemplate
The blessing of God’s greatest gift.
Let us worship from our hearts...
Much praise and adoration lift!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 KJV
