Unless Jesus is in Christmas...

Why all the hustle and bustle
and dashing through the snow?
Why bother sending greeting cards
or stand under a mistletoe?


Why chop down a pine tree
and dress it with tinsel and light?
What is the purpose of gift giving,
or days that are merry and bright?

Unless we keep Jesus in Christmas,
it isn't Christmas at all!
Unless we celebrate The Virgin Birth,
nothing we do has meaning or worth!

Christmas isn't the holy and the ivy,
little toy trains,
or Santa kissing mommy.

Christmas isn't packages tied with ribbons and string...
a red nosed reindeer,
or hearing sleigh bells ring.

Christmas isn't baking pies, turkey, and ham,
or lying awake till midnight,
to see a jolly ol' man.

Unless we keep Jesus in Christmas,
it isn't Christmas at all!
Unless we celebrate The Virgin Birth,
nothing we do has meaning or worth!

 No Nothing else has meaning or worth!
