The reason for the season

tis the Christmas season
another year is at its end
with lights all a glow
and frost on the window

the Christmas tree so pretty
and underneath its  decorative branches
gifts are piled and joys are awaiting

but here in front of the fire's glow
there's still one wish to grant on this silent night
and lo the people singing of glad tidings and falling snow
but this wish is too much for even Santa dear 

for this we must wait for the sign above
a wonderful display of God's unfailing love
for it was on this day many years ago
in a stable humble and low
 
where shepherds first heard the news
and wise men came by star light 
and the angels singing to God on high
 their glorious voices filling the sky

For unto us God sent his son
and he shall be called Emmanuel
for in his coming, God is with us
and that is the true meaning of Christmas,
