You won’t find Christmas,
perched on shelves,
or made in a grotto,
by hard-working elves.
You can’t find Christmas,
in glittering wrap,
or nestled in boxes,
so beautifully packed.
You can’t fail Christmas,
or not have enough,
there are ways to bring cheer,
without all of that stuff.
The Christmas you seek,
is a feeling my friend,
and it lives in the thoughts
and the greetings we send.
It glitters in kindness,
at charity’s door
and glimmers in deeds,
we were never asked for.
Christmas you see,
is a magical thing,
which no pot of money,
can actually bring.
It’s grace and humanity,
goodwill and cheer.
But most of all, peace,
and all those, you hold dear.
It’s opening your door,
then your heart opens too
and it’s not in the things,
Christmas lives,
within you.
