Christmas is a Time - For Sharing

by Linda Laughlin
(Fulton, MO)

Old stories passed down through the years
"what grandpa did one Christmas eve"
Had you laughing through your tears

Christmas is a time - for caring
About your family, neighbors and friends
Lending a hand to others in need
before the season ends

Christmas is a time - for giving
Presents that cOme from your heart
Watching the children, hearing their laughter
As the packages are torn apart

Christmas is a time - for peace
When soldiers lay aside their guns
And raise a glass to peace and good will
To every father and every son

Christmas is a time - for remembering
Family not with us on Christmas norm
And why people everywhere celebrate
The night our savior was born
