Christmas blessings sent to you
With love this joyous season
Ever mindful of the fact
That Jesus is the reason



Angels sing and sleigh bells ring
Gifts wrapped and bows adorn
Shepherds marveled at the sight
When a tiny Babe was born



Lights twinkle gaily on the tree
Red stockings grace the mantel
Little ones whisper secrets
By the flickering of a candle



Jack Frost bites and snowflakes fall
Shoppers scurry to and fro
Gingerbread in the oven
Neighbors stop to say hello



Angels heralded the Christ child's birth
Worldwide joy is spreading
Choirs sing triumphantly
Never the reason forgetting



Friends and family greetings sent
Cheerful holiday cards addressing
The truest gift came from Above
God's son is our Christmas blessing
