The Christmas Season

The Christmas Season
by Vivian Gilbert Zabel


With jingle bells tinkling,
With bright colored lights twinkling,
Behold, Christmas peeks through the night.

As shoppers insanely hustle,
As gift-wrappers excitedly bustle,
Christmas frantically fights the hassle.

As children happily giggle,
As toddlers busily wiggle,
Impatiently, everyone waits.

When angel songs fill the air,
When good cheer is no longer rare,
Christmas magic begins to spread.

With a small baby’s birth,
With a manger, not a hearth,
The real, the true Christmas appeared.

Leaving no piles of gifts under a tree,
Leaving no staggering bill or fee,
The gift of God’s love became man.

With the joy of this blessed season,
With His unending love as the reason,
I wish you a Merry Christmas.
