True Christmas Meaning

Christmas bells hanging on a bright festive tree Exciting wrapped parcels for you and for me Turkey and trimmings, cupboards full to the seams Dolls, trains and surprises fill the kid dreams Holly and mistletoe, garlands more Brightly decked rooms, from ceiling to floor But stop for a while, and think of the old Who maybe right now are sat in the cold No turkey or trimmings no presents to see Just a tin of cold soup and a tattered old tree Will that table your setting, have room another A forgotten old grandpa, a wife or a mother Just spare a thought for the old and the frail Open your hearts, let your goodness prevail That one special gesture can mean oh so much At this seasonal time of year don’t let us lose touch It’s all about giving and celebrating a new birth So open your home and let new friends feel their worth Buy a gift for a child, who has no kin of its own It doesn’t have to be much, just know they’re not alone Make peace with your foes, start a fresh bright New Year Filled with goodness and lots of good cheer Put bygones to rest, let sleeping dogs lie Be at one with yourself, no more eye for an eye Thank god for your life, count all of your treasures Your family and friends, their love you can’t measure Hold on to the meaning of a true Christmas day Not a commercial commodity, Happy Christmas I say!
