The Meaning Of Christmas Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

We hear the word Christmas, used in so many ways, most do not relate,
to the meaning, the birth of Christ, on that day.

Everyone is rushing, planning, and decorating their yards,
then they shop for, the birth of Christ tree, and cards.

Many travel to visit family, and friends, that live far,
They take a birth of Christ vacation, A journey in their car.

Some save for the day, stashing money in a can, or tub others open A special account at their bank, The birth of Christ club.

Many have parties, special dinners, with a roast, then at a special moment, To celebrate the holiday, they have A birth of Christ toast.

It is easy to see how the true meaning, has been slowly fading, away,
What kind of life would we be living, would earth still exist,
Without that first Christmas day.
