Not joy from a bottle, but Joy in a manger.
Not tied with a bow, but wrapped a lot tighter.
Not dependant on snow, the turkey or gifts.
But Joy that out-lasts the toys and the myths.
Not under a tree or mistletoe sprig.
But Joy that stays longer and seeps down deep.
Not dependent on feeling or temporary cheer.
But Joy from a Saviour who will always stay near.
He's the Joy who outlasts.
The Joy who gifts meaning.
Joy gifted from Heaven.
The true Joy of the season.
