The Christmas Spirit

Amongst the lights and tinsel

and the parcels wrapped with care,

Amongst the pies and puddings

and sweet aromas in the air,

Are hearts just spilling over

with love and generosity;

Is this not what Christmas is all

about - sharing our prosperity?

Volunteers, giving freely of their time,

show it in their eyes.

It's seen on the face of the less-fortunate,

receiving a Christmas surprise.

Carols sung as we light the tree

can make a senior smile;

Warm smiles and hugs can really help them

to walk that extra mile.

Amongst these joyous, loving deeds

is Christmas, pure and clear;

This is the part that could spill over,

amongst all the days of a year.
