Its Christmas time
and the bells will chime
there will be food
and a good mood
everyone singing
and present giving
children screaming
and adults gleaming
there will be church to attend
and money to spend
there will be sacks
and lots of snacks
there will be mince pies
and happy cries
there will be presents
and lots of events
there will be ham
and maybe some lamb
there will be smiles
that will go for miles
but there will be some
who feel quite glum
someone will be missing
who we wish we were kissing
there will be that spare seat
and one we will not greet
it will be hard
and maybe out heart will be scarred
we will think about them
and may feel glum
but Jesus came
in God’s name
as a tiny boy
to bring some joy
to his mother and father
and not be a bother
but instead to be here
so we can be there
with God in glory
what a wonderful story
so remember this
and do not miss
Jesus is the reason
for this festive season
