The Christmas Reason



Christmas Isn't Just GIFTS
Or glittering decorations;
it's honoring our Savior, Jesus Christ
In humble adoration

It's serving those less fortunate,
Meeting their needs before our own;
It's making sure at Christmas time
That no one is alone.

It's taking what we would have spent
On things that no one needs,
And using it to help someone
With service and good deeds.

Our Savior showed us how to live
With Charity, Faith And Service
It makes Christmas a JOY,
More Peaceful and less nervous.

So let's remember Christmas
Is about our Savior’s birth;
That's the way to happiness,
The way to Heaven and peace on earth

Why do we CELEBRATE Christmas
A Mass For Christ each year?
Why do we shop and give out gifts
Basking in Christmas cheer?

Our Faith is based in the Gospel,
The amazing GOOD NEWS of Christ;
We’re grateful for what He gave to us
And all He sacrificed.

Priceless GIFTS He brought,
Eternal Life And More,
Jesus is the perfect role model for all of us
He OPENED Heaven’s Door

At Christmas time
Let's be reverent and devout,
Celebrating a Christmas real and true:
Jesus Christ is what it's all about.
