We celebrate Christmas once a year.
And many of us have plenty to cheer.
Our table is full of festive things.
All the goodies that material world brings.

Our families and loved ones all around.
Exchanging gifts, costing many a pound.
The laughter and fun as the children play.
Forgetting any problem or worry that day.

The stocking was hung the night before.
For Santa to fill when he came through the door.
The Christmas tree stands firm and tall.
Beautifully decorated, presents for all.

The table laid with the festive food.
Everyone attending in such a good mood.
This day is one that is above the rest.
A very special day, it is the best.

If we've been lucky to celebrate this day.
Maybe we can send a thought along the way.
To many who won't have a Christmas this year?
For many reasons, there won't be a cheer.

To begin and end our Christmas Day.
We have another celebration I hear you say.
Mary gave birth to Jesus our friend.
For the future of mankind. Christmas won't end.
