I wonder who decided
It was not enough
To celebrate Christ’s birth
We needed other stuff
Fabricate a story
Placed in our child’s head
The Christmas is about
Santa Claus instead
They say don’t take away
This season to enjoy
The magic of Christmas
And all our children’s joy
Do we foster magic
Or love that Jesus brings?
Do we teach our joy
It’s tied to getting things?
Do each of us remember?
The day we lost our trust
When we knew the truth
Our parents lied to us
But we can decide
And take control
To feed worldly pleasures
Or nourish our soul
So let’s reclaim Christmas
Santa can have His place
A simple made up story
But Jesus we’ll embrace
To not focus on presents
Or things commercially
But His joy of Presence
That gives eternally
