Christmas Eve, Eve
’Twas two nights before Christmas
and to my utter ire
I’m still decorating and
cleaning up all the piles.
There’s been no time to waste
no time to sit still
I must get it all done
Christmas is almost here.
But I refuse to give in
allow my mood to be grim
instead I choose to embrace
the essence of Christmas grace.
The first Christmas ever
was as simple as can be
just Mary and Joseph
and a tiny little baby.
So, in case your Christmas
isn’t as delightful as you’d like
maybe it’s time to simplify.
Give of your heart, your soul, your mind
to the Spirit of Christmastime.
Don’t worry if your day isn’t perfect
don’t worry if you didn’t get everything
the most important part of this day
is to give of yourself in a most special way.
Whatever is in your heart to do
do it with all your might
with love through and through.
May your Christmas be filled
with love, joy, and peace
as you draw close to your Savior
this quiet Christmas Eve.
