Christmas wrapping red and gold
Gifts for loved ones young and old
Excitement swells and children sneak
Under the tree to take a peak
At all the mystery under foil
Don’t open now or you will spoil
The treasured moment on Christmas Day
Revealing toys with which to play
Now in the splendor of the moment
Don’t forget why we celebrate
Gifts exchanged are symbolic
of treasures given that Holy Date
When God stepped down off His throne
And entered this world, a baby…lone
To a simple young girl, this child her first
divinely conceived, a virgin birth
Such an odd place to be born a King
A stable, in a manger, no signet ring
Yet His palace is a lofty place on high
Beyond the cosmos, above the sky
Where we too will reside if we believe
The best gift of all we could ever receive
