T’was the days before Christmas and all through the spot

 Our gas is flowing and furnace is hot.

The tree is still lit from a paid power bill

 and the fridge is half stocked with delicious food still.

Ma has her car and Pa with the van,

If not than their grateful for the strength to walk and stand.

All of a sudden there rose a great sound

It’s the water meter man just doing his rounds.

No problem he says, just checking on stuff

Christmas at our home, and we have more than enough.

What’s that in the mail, looks like they want money

The mortgage, cash in the bank, so there is no worry honey.

Tough to think that this holiday will go without stress

When you are content in Christ you are truly blessed.

So no matter if all your bills are paid or not

Remember to thank God for all that you’ve got

If your loved, and cared for that is a blessing,

Don’t complain if there is no tree in your home for dressing.

Forget not that there are others worse off than you

Be grateful to God for what little you can do.

Christmas is and has always been more than stuff and things,

It’s about the love that our Christ Jesus brings.

It’s about us exclaiming on a bright Christmas morn,

That rescue has come, for Jesus was born!
