Christmas Is
A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader
Christmas Is
Christmas is laughter joy and love
Christmas is God’s gift from above
Christ Jesus was given for one and all
Christ Jesus came as a babe so small
Christmas is gifts under a tree
Christmas is meant to be more you see
Christ is salvation for the repenting heart
Christ is forgiveness, a fresh new start
Christmas is memories we all share
Christmas is tradition done with flair
Christ is the gift in our hearts that last
Christ is the love from a Christmas past
Christmas is light come down from above
Christmas is God’s unending love
Christ Jesus is our Christmas joy
Christ is love for each girl and boy
Take Christ out of Christmas if you dare
Refuse our children, a heartfelt prayer
They’ll be acting out and breaking rules
Bringing chaos to our schools
Take Christ out of Christmas, our kids it hurts
Our daughters wear revealing short skirts
Out in the hallways we’ll see our sons
Dressed in camouflage, wielding guns
Christ out of Christmas leaves us without
So many things when chaos is about
No laughter, joy or love for sisters and brothers
Bringing pain and grief to our mothers
Bring Christ back to Christmas bring back the joy
Bring back values for our girls and boys
Bring our mothers joys instead of sorrow
Bring back the hope for a better tomorrow
