About Christmas

by Kathleen Higham

Christmas is not about a baby
It's about the only begotten Son
But we're lost in the gifts and glitter
And He's become the forgotten Son

Christmas is not about presents
Yet we buy till we can't buy any more
And the gifts and glitter are soon over
What happened to the Christ we adore

Christmas is not a fashion show
Where worship becomes a show me event
We display our apparel and jewelry
What about why Jesus was sent

Christmas is about our Savior
Who was born to die on a cross
His mother had no gifts or glitter
Her future held unbearable loss

Christmas is about our future
Not presents heaped beneath the tree
For Christ was born to save us
Then He died to set us free

Yes Christmas is about our Savior
And His death was the ultimate giving
No glitter no gifts just Jesus
It's about the joy of living

If you live and walk with Jesus
You will always be in His sight
For His gift is forever and ever
He's the way the truth and the light
