Christmas All Year Round
by Juanita DeHart

This day we all call Christmas Comes so quick and goes so fast But we can start our New Year With a Christmas that will last When gifts are all forgotten And the wrapping thrown away Let's give a heartfelt present Of true feelings that will stay Since arguments and grudges We so graciously release A twelve-month Christmas season Heals the hurt with constant peace The joyfulness can linger When we take the tinsel down Forgiveness can keep Christmas In our spirits all year round The warmth of friends and loved ones Won't grow cold when candles leave If we light fires of mercy For our brothers to receive The gift of understanding Doesn't cost a single dime By sharing blessings daily Money won't steal Christmas time A kiss so freely given Underneath the mistletoe Won't be withheld in summer If all year compassion flows And since we all like hanging Ornaments on Christmas trees Let's deck ourselves with kindness As we make our aim to please This holiday of beauty Never has to dim or fade But there's an honest effort That must faithfully be made The cheerful decorations We'll display the whole year through When the Christ wrapped up in Christmas Is the gift we all pursue |
