Beverly Brown (1983 / Houlton, Maine)

Christmas time is coming
The snow is glistening as it falls
People are singing Christmas carols
And crowding at the malls

The spirit of this Christmas
Is to reflect on those you love
Think of those near and far
And the lord above

It’s not about the gifts
Or how much money you can spend
It’s about what matters
Friends and family to the end

So put a smile on your face
As you spread this Christmas cheer
And know I will think of you
Now and throughout the year!
