The Secret of Christmas
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Lots and lots of people opine, muse, and vent about the "true meaning of Christmas".
Christmas, though, means many things to many people...and I could write a whole term paper of exactly what Christmas means to me.
But I don't need to...because years before I was born, Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn wrote a memorable song(which is still heard and sung often to this day)that pretty much sums up my feelings about what Christmas means at heart to me.
Here then, for your perusal and hopeful edification, with no one's permission in particular, is the lyrics to the song, "The Secret of Christmas"...and I hope these words touch you in the way they've touched me for many years.
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears.
It's not the Christmas card you've sent for years.
Not the joyful sound when sleigh bells ring.
Nor the merry song children sing.
The little gift you send on Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend you've turned away.
So may I suggest The Secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through.
Have a truly merry and meaningful Christmas, everyone.
