what is this day we hold so dear
why do we celebrate this night
is it just this feeling here
that makes the winter warm and bright
is it the spirit that never wilts
like the ancient evergreen
is it the friendly ties we've built
stretching like a sparkling stream
Is it the presents neatly wrapped
waiting patient in the shade
Is it the face of children rapt
or the jubilent cries they bayed
Is it the delicously absurd
life we give to stories old
snowman sing in rhyming word
reindeer flying, so we're told
Is it roaring fire light
shining off the mantel's gold
Is it candy, red and white
still so sweet and yet so old
Is it the festive party night
clad in shining icy dew
a last of dancing light
6 days before we start anew
what christmas means, as a whole
not the presents nor the lights
but just one single special soul
wrapped up gently in two arms tight
