With hearty cheers
And much goodwill;
With gifts exchanges
And family dinners
With pine trees,
Both real and fake
And a star on the top
Reminiscent of that
Followed by the wise men
We remind ourselves
Of this recurring moment
Of the greatest gift of all,
Jesus Christ
Born in a manger
Born of a virgin…
While we merry
And carol sing,
May our hearts,
Echo the holy writ,
Unto us a child is born,
Unto us a son is given…

Merry Christmas
