Christmas Cheer

Christmas Cheer

 
At Christmastime it seems

There's some kind of a trick.

An unexpected gift

Makes you take action quick.

 

To have a fair exchange

You give a gift back to

The person, by surprise,

Who just gave one to you.

And there's always the joke

That someone has to make,

That in the whole wide world

There's only one fruit cake.

 

It just goes round and round

Till it gets back to you,

And if you take a bite,

Your life may soon be through.

 

Oh, Christmas is a day

Of all kinds of good cheer,

Along with many reasons

To try to hold it dear.

 

Remember as you struggle

To keep it full of fun,

The reason for the season

Is Jesus, Number One.
