Christmas is the
Time of year
For bringing joy
For bringing cheer

All the hustle
All the bustle
Turns shopping trips
Into a tussle

All the crazies
All the weirdos
All the ripoffs
All the mazies.

If you buy this,
We'll throw in the hat
If you buy this,
We'll throw in that.

But what must people
Tend to forget
Is that this isn't
What it's all about.

Two thousand years back,
He came to be.
Two thousand years back,
He came to me,
So we could live eternally.
