ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS


People making lists 
Buying special gifts                                          

It's a time to be kind 
To one and all
It's that time of year 
When good friends 
Are dear
And you wish you
Could give more
Than just presents 
From a store

Why don't you give love 
On Christmas day 
(On Christmas day)
Oh, even the man 
Who has everything
Would be so happy 
If you would bring
Him love 
On Christmas day 
(On Christmas day)
No greater gift 
Is there than love

People you don't know 
Smiling out hello
Everywhere there's an air 

Of Christmas joy
It's that once a year 
When the world's sincere
And you'd like 
To find a way
To show the things 
That words can't say

Why don't you give love 
On Christmas day 
(On Christmas day)
The man on the street 
And the couple upstairs
All need to know 
That there's one cares
Give love 
On Christmas day 
(Christmas day)
No greater gift 
Is there than love
What the world 
Needs is love
Yes, the world 
Needs your love

Why don't you give love 
On Christmas day 
(On Christmas Day)
Oh, every little child 
On Santa's knee
Has room for your love 
Underneath his tree
Give love 
On Christmas day 
(Christmas day)
No greater gift 
Is there than love
What the world 
Needs is love
Yes, the world 
Needs your love

Give love 
On Christmas day 
(Christmas day)


Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart. - George Matthew Adams

What is Christmas?

Christmas is the birth of a child in Bethlehem that was called Jesus. It’s all about the essence of sharing to each another. It’s the time to make it special to our relatives. Children are having their caroling in different houses. People are going to church nine days to have a prayer for the birth of Jesus. That’s why Christmas is for children. The time for them to make some fun and enjoy the life that was given to us by the Lord.

Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God. - George F. McDougall
