St. Nick’s night is close at hand

Readying a sleigh oh-so-grand

So much more than a fairy tale

Embodiment of all that’s fair and well

A giver indeed

Without the greed

Of common man young and old

The children draw near

Excited to hear

When stories of him are told

But greater still

Far greater, if you will

Woven warm and tightly knit

A treasure untold

For you to behold

The bliss of family, that is it

‘Tis now Christmas evening

And what joy family can bring

Toys and gifts are good and nice

And everyone loves the snow and ice

But what ignites all this cheer?

The caring warmth of loved ones near

A wonderful way

To have a birthday

And celebrate our gift from above

Eternal life

No pain, no strife

A reminder of Jesus Christ’s love
