Analysis of Reflections Of Christmas
Reflections Of Christmas
Presents wrapped and put under the tree
Children wondering which one is for me.
Lights all through inside and out.
Merry Christmas to you is what you hear people shout.
Carolers singing up and down the streets.
Shaking hands with all the people they meet.
Families and loved ones at the table for prayer
Giving thanks for the food and the ones who are there.
What a joyous time of the year.
Let give a toast and be full of great cheer.
Let's give thanks to Jesus above.
Who was born on Christmas night a gift of pure love.
As children are playing with the toys that they got.
Let's give blessings for each little tot.
Let's raise our voices so everyone can hear.
Merry Christmas to all and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
