'Slow Down This Christmas' Poem by Linda Winchell

With all the holiday hustle and bustle
We tend to overlook the importance of.
What the true meaning of Christmas is all about
The truest gift of a small child’s purest love.

Not a childs' bright red trains or toys
That are colorfully wrapped and set beneath a tree.
But the birth of child that came to save mankind
One day…at Calvary.

To offer mankind away…forgiveness of sin
While his broken body was nailed upon a cross.
Slow down this Christmas, so you too can feel the truest of love
Of our Saviors’ birth… in your Christmas haste, might have lost.
