Thanks to you all for reading and responding this past year. Here’s a little Christmas greeting for you that asks the important question: What is Christmas to you?
Christmas to Me
Christmas to me, isn’t the lights on the tree
The wrappings and the bows
A reindeer’s glowing nose.
Christmas to me, isn’t so easy to see
In endless games and toys
For little girls and boys.
And no matter where I go
All the trappings and the snow
It just isn’t merry
It just isn’t Christmas
Till I am home again with you.
Christmas to me, echoes the mystery
The sacred holy night
A grace so pure and bright.
Christmas to me, lives in the memory
Of family and friends
A love that never ends.

Dear Steve,
That was wonderful. Your music and the lyrics, are so appropriate, and strikes home the point that Jesus came, to take us HOME!
Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas to you, your band and families.
God’s abundant graces be yours.

Thank you for this. Christmas is not a happy time of year for me although I know it should be. Struggles with the darkness seem almost overwhelming as I let go of past griefs bit by bit. Thank you to all of you for the time and effort to send this out. The music and the words were strengthening.
