The time has come again, the time of Christmas
A time to be shared with those we love
A time to be surrounded by family
A time to share with each other, through gifts and presents
A time during which we are filled with warmth
A warmth that glows like embers of the fire
We cozy up next to the hearth and admire the fire
As we ready ourselves for our Christmas
After we entered from outside we immediately felt its warmth
The heat grows in the presence of our love
We longingly glance over at the wrapped presents
But choose to put off the unwrapping to spend time with family
In these moments we consider our family
Contemplating its importance as we sit next to the fire
Our closeness means so much more than presents
For these moments seem to only come at Christmas
And we find ourselves surrounded in love
And love brings us all so much more warmth
The heat tickles our noses, and we become sleepy from the warmth
We remember every Christmas spent with our family
And reminisce about those we’ve lost but still love
Their unending presence endures like the fire
The memories are stronger at Christmas
And these memories are more important than presents
The fire may be reduced to embers, but not our love
And because of this love we finally exchange our presents
And open up boxes of sweaters as we lounge by the fire
The thoughtfulness of others brings us warmth
Because no one knows us like our family
Especially when exchanging gifts at Christmas
These moments are saturated with love
Hot cocoa and laughter and warmth
Piles of unpackaged presents
Strewn to the side to chatter with family
As we poke at and encourage the fire
So it will continue, prolonging our Christmas
Oh the overwhelming love and satisfying warmth!
Oh the packages, the presents, the moments with family!
Oh as we lounge by the fire and enjoy our Christmas!
