The Christmas Season

The Christmas Season

This time of year
Consumerism holds so dear

Santa and his elves
Images for the $ell $ell $ell

Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Reindeer
Spreading Happy Holidays and good cheer

What are we celebrating in essence?
Just the giving and receiving of presents?

Where is the Messiah in this season?
Ignored for no good reason

Is the Babe of the Manger?
Becoming a stranger?

No!

From the time of His birth
His presence has been challenged on His Earth

Yet all attempts to extinguish the Light
Have failed to overcome Holy Might

The Son of God became the Son of Man
Planting Joy and Hope across all lands

It is this that we celebrate this time of year
It is this that we hold so dear
