OH HO, HO, HO!
We have to have Santa with reindeer and snow,
and Frosty and Jingle Bells, houses aglow
with the "Magic" of Christmas. It may not make sense,
but although these things that we do make us tense,
we have an excuse to share with each other
those softer emotions so often we smother
like love, peace, and joy, and memories dear.
So, we gather in families spreading the cheer
with tradition and tinsel and tales of the season,
while knowing in all this that the real reason
began with a baby boy born in a stable
when Heaven reached down to us. So, He was able
to share in our laughter and weep with our pain,
to celebrate life, to make simple and plain
the dimensions of Love and the wideness of Grace
expressed in the smile of that one Baby's face.
He believed in celebrating. His first miracle was to keep the party going
at a wedding! Do you think He might even enjoy some of the crazy ways we celebrate His birthday ?
