Christmas is for children
Time to make a fuss
Christmas is for old and young
And every one of us
Christmas is for old folks
Time to light the tree
Bringing sparks to dim eyes
For some joy to see
Christmas is for mothers
Fathers, sisters, too
Time to think of family
Binding ties anew
Christmas is for loved ones
Whether far or near
Time to kindle friendships
That once were so dear
Christmas is for sad ones
Homeless, wayside souls
Time to spread some goodness
In their beggar bowls
Christmas is for joy and hope
Time to recommit
Lives and ways to Jesus
Humbly to submit
Christmas is for healing
Share, forgive, discuss
Christmas is for you and me
And everyone of us.
