‘Twas the day before Christmas and all through the town
The people were happy with hardly a frown.
Advent had been a time for preparing
For the birthday of Christ and a season of sharing.
In our lives oh so changed in these pandemic days
With masks and social distancing and other varied ways,
The celebration of Jesus as the Light of the World
Has enlightened our hearts as the storm winds have swirled.
Though snow and cold and ice are around
God’s Goodness and Mercy do also abound.
We thank the Lord for the gift of His Love
Which shines down upon us from Heaven above.
May the Good News of Christ bless your hearts with His Joy
While you live as God’s Children as His Daughter or Boy.
On the Eve of this Christmas in the day and at night,
Have a very merry time filled with laughter and delight!
