The Reason For The Season While there is a lot of shopping that needs to be done And the stressful moments that is felt from being on the run With the decorating of Christmas trees and the Christmas card sending And all the preparing it is easy to feel like it is never ending But during the excitement and the hustle and the bustle let us remember The reason for the season that comes every year in December It is easy to get wrapped up in the traditions we're accustomed to And while the gift giving and the singing of carols is always fun to do The true meaning of Christmas is what fills the heart with glee It cannot be felt through the things we buy or placed beneath the tree It cannot be felt through the food in which is prepared or through the decorations that are hung It can be found in a much deeper place which can be felt by the poor, the rich, the old and the young It cannot put us in debt nor does it require a price check or a price tag It doesn't require to be placed in a box or in a gift bag This priceless gift can be given on any day of the year And it doesn't have to be received only when Christmas time is here Because what God has given to every one every where is the glory of Knowing at all times the one thing that can be felt is our Savior's love So there is no other gift that could be opened that would measure up to The sacrifice that was so freely given to the heart of you So while there will be a lot of celebration lets be mindful of That the real reason for this Holy day comes from no other place than above.
