The following is a poem I wrote of what I view to be the perspective of Jesus about His birthday.  Let me know if you agree by commenting below and feel free to share a link to this post! :)

 
 

What I really want for CHRISTmas



 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to tone down your Christmas lights,
To stop spoiling your children with tons of presents,
Instilling selfishness and fights.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to look down the street,
At the widow's house so lonely,
And to go to her to meet.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to slow your pace,
While others hurridly pass you by,
You, instead, show grace.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to show My love,
Not to just those around you,
But to those you would never think of.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to share My story,
By sharing My love and mercy,
And giving Me all the glory.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to take this day,
And to find someone who has a need,
My Love to them you are to display.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to sing a song,
Of praises to My Father,
All of the yearlong.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to show your child,
The example of how we should treat others,
 
With kindness ever so mild.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to open your door,
To welcome those less fortunate,
With the blessings from your Lord.
 
What I really want for CHRISTmas,
Is for you to take this day,
To shine a light on a darkened world,
To show them, I am the ONLY way.
