Gifts wrapped under a tall Christmas tree
in the living/family room the fireplace is lit
its warmth is felt by everyone
gathered together as one
picture-perfect family
reunion---in the spirit of the season
the joy and love and peace
the giving and sharing
of one's Self to the others
the best gift that we can offer
that's the true spirit of Christmas.
As Christmas songs and carols played
and Yuletide wishes and greetings sent
to loved ones near or far
across the miles the world rejoices
for His coming down to us
to renew our hope and commitment
for Peace on Earth and Goodwill
to humankind!
