Oh, sacred night of joy and cheer,
When hearts grow warm, and love draws near,
The yuletide flame, a tender light,
Illumines homes in winter's night.
Beneath the boughs of evergreen,
The spirit stirs, serene, unseen,
For Christmas weaves a golden thread,
Through all we've cherished, all we've said.
A tapestry of love unfolds,
In stories shared, in hands we hold.
The laughter of a child rings clear,
The echo of all we hold dear.
Around the table, faces glow,
With warmth no winter's chill can stow.
The feast laid out, a banquet true,
Of memories old and dreams anew.
For family gathers, hearts entwined,
With love that weathers tide and time.
Through trials faced and battles won,
Together stronger, all as one.
The gifts we give are but a token,
Of bonds unbroken, words unspoken.
The greatest gift? To simply be,
In the presence of love and family.
The star above, it guides us still,
Through life's terrain, o'er vale and hill.
It whispers softly, "Love is near,
In every moment, every year."
And so we hold this truth divine,
That love and family intertwine.
No wealth nor gold could match the worth,
Of those we treasure here on earth.
This Christmas time, let hearts align,
In love's embrace, in joy's design.
For in this fleeting life, we see,
The holiest of all gifts - is family.
