Santa, what will you bring?
It’s not just a high ho, Christmas
Playing the gift-giving game.
It is so much deeper than that
As important as “that” is
(to us).
It’s a Christmas to celebrate Jesus
The gift that our Father God did give.
He was born in a lonely manger
On a cold winter night
To the Virgin Mary
Because she and Joseph had to take flight
From their home; going to Jerusalem,
There their taxes to pay,
As did all the other people
Who traveled along that way.
So all the sleeping places
And all the inns in town were already filled up.
When Mary and Joseph arrived.
The town of Bethlehem was very much alive
with people, animals, and much activity.
So the question became, “Joseph, where will we sleep?”
He found a stable, (being Spirit led,)
With a manger, some swaddling cloths, and some hay.
There Jesus the Savior was born, laid in the stable bed
Fulfilling what for centuries the prophets had said would be.
So Christmas is not just about giving and receiving gifts
wrapped under the Christmas tree.
It’s not (as some have made it, a “playing of the gift-giving game”.)
No, it’s not just a (“Santa bring me …”) hi ho, Christmas.
It’s a celebration of the greatest gift ever -Jesus the Messiah
Our soon coming King. (BOLD)
Merry Christmas!!!
