A Different Kind of Christmas

A Different Kind Of Christmas

Sometimes Christmas is just overwhelming, it seems,
 As we rush around buying up stuff.
 We spend without end, and we rack up those bills,
 But it feels like it's never enough.

So this Christmas, let's all take a different approach:
 Let's try to be more in accord
 With God's Christmas gift, the best one of all--
 Our sweet Jesus, our Savior, our Lord.

We'll be gentle and patient, and loving and kind,
 And we'll keep our priorities straight;
 The gifts of the Spirit, the gifts of the heart
 Are the ones that we'll all celebrate.

And our stress will decrease, and we'll feel more at peace,
 As we decorate, package, and trim;
 Our new Christmas will be a pure joy and delight,
 As we try to be much more like Him.
