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.
