What Christmas Was, Is or Isn’t?

 

By Walt Perryman

Well, it is almost time for Christmas again,
To celebrate when Christianity first begin.

Christmas feels different to me than before!
Back when I had less, but I wanted more!

This year Christmas means a lot more to me,
Because it's about Jesus, not what’s under the tree!

So, if you’ve allowed ‘stuff’ to be to big of a part,
See how good it feels when you give from the heart.

Well, I reckon this next line will about say it all,
“Go read the Bible instead of going to the mall.”
