What is Christmas?
Is it just a day at the end of the year, a holiday filled with merriment
and good cheer?
Is it a time for the giving and taking of gifts and to indulge in
good food and drink?
Have we become lost in the meaningless daze that invades our
minds at the sight of the crowds and decorations everywhere?
Have we closed our hearts to God and his love, have we forgotten
the bright star above and the real, true meaning of Christmas?
We should ask the Lord to renew and restore our faith, to allow
us to remember the real and true meaning of Christmas. So, we can feel in our
hearts again that peace and good will to all is still a promise that can be
claimed if we just believe.
This is a reworked version of a poem or verse call it what you
want by Helen Steiner Rice.
