Christmas

Christmas is more than a time of music, merriment and mirth;
     it is a season of meditation, managers and miracles.
Christmas is more than a time of gaiety, greenery and gifts;
     it is a season of wonder, worship and wisemen.
Christmas is more than a time of tinsel, trees and toys;
     it is a season of preparation, prayers and peace.
Christmas is more than a time of festivities, family and friends;
     it is a season of generosity, gladness and gratitude.
Christmas is more than a time of carols, cards and candy;
     it is a season of dedication, direction and decision.
Christmas is more than Santa, stockings and surprises;
     it is Christ, care and concern.

~William Arthur Ward
