Our Family gathered at mom’s house this year
All of us full of holiday cheer
This year had been a full one
Many changes had gone round
Yet through the good & bad times
The most precious gift was found
It wasn’t a gift with a bow wrapped sweet
It wasn’t something to you’d trip over with your feet
We each had someone to snuggle with at night
To hold us and make our world feel bright
We all were together, healthy, & glad
So truly the best gifts were already had
We didn’t exchange stuff we really didn’t need
Instead we had dinner, played games & laughed indeed
We learned that Christmas is a feeling
Showing genuine love,
And giving your family a great big hug
So this year & those to come please know
As your running & romping & playing in snow
It isn’t about presents and eating good treats
It’s about kindness & showing appreciation for those you meet
It’s about a Christ child & your family, to me that what’s neat
Our Lord gave us the best gift of all
He sent down his son-who was born in a stall
Remember the Babe born that December night
who filled up the world with his love so bright
There are many gifts that don’t cost a dime
Sometimes it’s only the giving of your time
It’s just not the kind that you buy at a store
For me Christmas is so much more.
Its hugging your children ever so tight
And tickling their toes as they giggle with delight
Its saying “I’m here for you” to those who need a lift
It doesn’t have to be a very lavish gift
Its remembering the blessings that you received through the year
Its being appreciative for the family you hold dear.
We all have our quirks, our own way of doing things,
Yet remember family of course, is the most precious of things.
Remember to say I love you, even if you don’t see the need,
This family is ours, ours yes indeed.
