Christmas is a time of anticipation,
When hope because a shining star,
When children's wishes become prayers,
And days are X'ed on calendar.

Christmas is a time for healing,
When disagreers and disagreements meet,
When long-time wounds are mended
And love moves hatred to retreat.

Christmas is a time for patience,
When we try anew to mold
Our lives in the image of Him
Whose birthday we uphold.

Christmas is a time time for giving,
The Wise Men brought their best,
But Christ showed that the gift of self
Will out-give all the rest.

Christmas is a time for understanding
People and customs throughout the world,
When for all-too-brief a season,
The banner of peace is unfurled.

Christmas is a time for children
No matter what their age,
Spirit is the only ticket,
And heart the on gauge.

Christmas is a time for learning,
A time when new truths unfold,
And not-so-innocent children
Often teach the old.

Christmas is the time for sharing,
A time for needy hands to clasp,
A time for strecti g out in faith
With a reach that exceeds or grasp.

Christmas is a time for love,
A time for inhibitions to shed,
A time for words too long unsaid.

Christmas is time to remember
Timeless stories from days of yore,
A time to ponder what's ahead,
A time to open another door.
