 CHRISTMAS GIVING 

 Iris W, Bray

Christmas is for giving

And for showing that we care,

For honouring the Christ Child

With the loving gifts we share

The wise men gave of riches;

The shepherds, faith and love.

Each gift, in its own measure,

Was smiled on from above.

Let every gift be treasured;

Not always size or price

Determines the extent of love

And willing sacrifice.

Handsome gifts with festive trim

Brings smiles of sweet content,

But modest gifts of humble means

Are ofttimes heaven sent.

Whether it be large or small

Each gift will share in part

The message of true Christmas joy
