Christmas Is Much More

2001 By Bud Lemire

The true meaning of Christmas, is not the gifts you receive

But the love that you share, and the love that you believe

Christmas is much more, than the gifts under the tree

It is the heartfelt love, we share with our friends and family

Christmas is much more, than the snow upon the ground

It is the spirit that is within our hearts, always to be found

Christmas is much more, than the cards we exchange throughout this season

Taking time to appreciate all we have in life, is the greatest reason

To share a smile, with a stranger

To warn others, who are in danger

Taking the time, for a worthy cause

Seeing the good in everyone, not the flaws

Taking the moment, to wipe a friend’s eyes of tears

Calming their worries, listening with both ears

Christmas is taking the time, to always be there

To let the ones we love, know how much we care

Christmas is much more, than Santa Claus and his reindeers

And it’s much more, than taking on all the world’s fears

Christmas is much more, than the brightly shining star

Christmas is the warmth in our soul, that makes us who we are

Christmas is the love, that we share with each other

A special gift of the spirit, for my sister and my brother

Christmas is much more, than the gifts purchased in a store

It's the love we share freely, which makes life worth living for
