Christmas Day

My dear precious Jesus, I did not mean to take Your place;
I only bring toys and things, You bring love and grace.
People give me lists of wishes, and hope that they come true;
But You hear prayers of the heart, and promise Your will to do.
Children try to be good, and not cry, when I come to town;
But You love them unconditionally, with a love that will abound.
I leave only a bag of toys and temporary joy for a season;
But You leave a heart of love, full of purpose for permanent reasons.
I have a lot of believers and what one might call fame;
But I never healed the blind, or tried to help the lame.
I have rosy cheeks and a voice full of laughter;
But no nail-scarred hands or a promise of the hereafter.
You may find several of me in town, or even at the mall;
But there is only one omnipotent You, to answer a sinner’s call.
And so, my dear precious Jesus, I kneel here to humbly pray;
To worship and adore You on this, Your holy birthday.

 I saw this floating around facebook and LOVED it!!!!

I love the symbol of goodness that Santa is; gifts to all, laughter, jolly and happiness. Christmas trees and many of the other traditions of the season can help us cherish our family and if we allow it....draw us closer to Jesus Christ - the Reason for Season.
