The Magic of Christmas
The magic of
Christmas is so many things...
A holly wreath
gay and a church bell that rings,
A tree all
a-glitter, a candle's soft glow -
And moonlight
reflected on new-fallen snow;
A kitchen's
aroma of sugar and spice,
Bright
packages wrapped up so pretty and nice,
Red stockings
o'erflowing with candy and toys
And hung by
the fireplace for good girls and boys.
The magic of
Christmas is sound everywhere...
Sweet voices
of carolers upon frosted air,
The jingle of
sleigh bells across hill and vale,
Glad ring of
the postman delivering the mail;
Good friends
dropping in and the laughter so gay,
Store windows
checked out in delightful display.
Dear Santa
Claus chuckling his famed "Ho, Ho, Ho!"
And little
tots whispering as Santa bends low.
The magic of
Christmas is so many things...
A candlelit
church and a choir that sings,
The being
together with people we love,
Belief that
the Christmas Star still shines above;
The caring and
giving and goodwill towards men,
The Christ
Child reborn in our hearts once again,
Contentment
and peace and a faith strong within,
A spirit of
love that makes all the world kin.
The magic of
Christmas is all this and more,
May your day
be merry with much joy in store,
And may the
bright memories and glow ne'er depart...
The magic of
Christmas live on in your heart!
