We've heard stories from our parents
About the long ago Christmas
How everyone would sit by the fire
Dance, eat and just enjoy
With their families
Celebrating the birth of Christ
Celebrating the gift of family
Celebrating the gift of life and life
These stories have me wondering
Questioning where such a beautiful,
Such an amazing Christmas ran off to
Has me wondering how we can find it back
This generation knows no Christmas
Christmas to them means drowning in alcohol
Going out to nightclubs
Speed driving in the streets
Which results in Christmas mourning
Than the known Christmas bliss of laughter
They do not know fun with family
Forsaking moments with their elders
For fun with the friends they spend every day with
They wake up on Christmas morning
Nursing their hangovers
While some of their families go to church
And in no way do they feel ashamed
Where did the Christmas spirit go?
My mother once said
Christmas, my child, is about you and I
And the other family we have
It is about showing appreciation for everything God has given
It is about humbling oneself to others
Sharing with others what you never did throughout the year
It is about making moments you can keep forever
It is about reunion
Forgiveness
But with all these words,
I still wonder where the beautiful Christmas spirit ran off to
