CELESTIAL CHRISTMAS CHEER
Festive lights; holiday sound;
Signs of Christmas all around.
Jolly Santas; reindeer bright
Remind us of that special night.
Gifts to give; treats to enjoy
In honor of that holy Boy.
Blinking colors; yummy food;
Children trying to be good!
Christmas carols, mistletoe:
Signs of God’s love here below.
Wreaths of holly, ribbons red;
What contrast to His manger bed!
Ads, commercials, gimmicks, sales,
Try to block out the Christmas tales
Of Mary and Joseph, shepherds, a star,
And Magi bringing gifts from afar.
But, if you look beyond the TV
Toward the heavens, you will see
Twinkling stars; a full moon’s glow.
And, like wise men, you will know:
The loveliest of the holiday’s light
Are celestial ones God gives each night!
