Analysis of Christmas
Christmas is for praising. Christmas is for awe.
Christmas is for gazing.
Let's on wonder draw.
Christmas is for greeting. Christmas is for friends.
Christmas is for meeting.
Let's all make amends.
Christmas is for sharing. Christmas is for zest.
Christmas is for caring.
Let's express our best.
Christmas is for crooning. Christmas is for song.
Christmas is for tuning.
Let's each sing along.
Christmas is for smiling. Christmas is for glee.
Christmas is for styling.
Let's preserve esprit.
Christmas is for giving. Christmas is for love.
Christmas is for living.
Let's partake thereof.
