What is Christmas?
-
Christmas isn’t commercialization.
Christmas is the realization that
men everywhere are brother.
Christmas is the time to think of others.
Lots of presents under a tree
Is that what Christmas means to me?
Is it candy or presents on the shelf?
Or maybe it’s something else:
Christmas is the joy of giving
Christmas is the joy of living
That’s what Christmas really should be.
That’s what Christmas means to me!

Christmas Time
It’s Christmas time in Abington Heights.
The time to think of Santa’s magical flights.
Cards are what the kids are making.
Cakes and pies are what grown-ups are baking.
Their screams of laughter fill the air.
For each child has not a single care.
Yes, it’s Christmas time in Abington Heights.
And it’s time to think of Santa’s magical flights. !

On Christmas Day we get lots of toys
For all the happy girls and boys.
In one package there is a mole
And in your stocking there’s lots of coal.
Christmas Day is a time of joy
When everyone will get a toy.
All the church bells ding and dong.
And everyone sing a Christmas song.

Long ago one Christmas Day
Little Jesus lay in the hay
Down down in Bethlehem,.
Jesus lay with the sheep and the
lamb.
High up where angels fly,
Hang the star,
In the evening sky.
Here came wise men,
With gifts of gold.
Shepherds with nothing,
As I am told
You may have thought,
His life divine.
And so it was,
Much better than your or mine.

When I see a pretty Christmas tree
I think it’s really Christmas-y.
What a pretty tree that would be
If that pretty tree could just belong to me.
It would be a real party of my family.

Christmas is a time of giving,
Christmas is a time of living,
On Christmas Day we have a feast
When we eat the roast beast,
I like to open presents,
And act like a pheasant,
But on Christmas Day Christ the Savior
was on His way.
