Tomorrow is Christmas
is it really here?
There's snow on the ground
and holly everywhere
and just last night children
came caroling at my door
Oh, why doesn't Christmas
feel like Christmas anymore?
*
Everywhere stores
sell "Christmas cheer"
with "just the right gift"
for friend and peer
Many St. Nicks
all bearded and belly-ed
ring bells and yell
luring the money-ed
*
I always thought Christmas
was a time of rejoicing
praising the birth
of our saviour, our King
but now it seems more
of a time for possession
people count gifts
with wild obsession
*
Oh where is the warmth
once felt in December
It's gone. The true reason
no longer remains
It seems no one cares
why Christmas is here
The tinsel and lights
seem to blank out His name
