The air turns crisp, a gentle sigh,

As winter cloaks the world in white,

A season arrives, so pure and nigh,

With warmth and joy to chase the night.

The scent of pine, the lights that gleam,

The songs that float upon the breeze,

A time for hearts to dare and dream,

To give, to love, to share with ease.

Christmas approaches, the days stretch long,

And in our hearts, the joy will swell,

A melody of peace, a song

That reaches far, a timeless bell.

We gather close, with hands entwined,

With candles lit and tales retold,

A story of love, a bond that binds,

That Christ was born, for all, so bold.

In humble manger, quiet and still,

He came to mend the broken soul,

To teach the world to bend, to will,

To play a part, to heal, to console.

The air is filled with joyful cheer,

With laughter, gifts, and acts of grace,

But in our hearts, we hold so dear—

To plant in hope the smallest trace.

For Christmas isn’t just a day,

It’s kindness shared in every hand,

It’s finding light in shades of gray,

And helping others understand.

We thank the Child, so pure, so bright,

For giving all, for showing love,

For guiding us from wrong to right,

And lighting paths from high above.

So let this Christmas fill our hearts,

With peace that binds us, one and all,

With joy that mends the broken parts,

And gratitude for every call.

May love be spread through every street,

Through every home, through every soul,

Let kindness shine, let mercy greet,

The world that still has far to stroll.

For Christmas isn’t just a time,

It’s what we give, it’s what we share,

It’s lifting others, so sublime,

It’s showing all how much we care.

So as we stand, with hearts so wide,

We welcome Christmas, full of grace,

With open arms and love as guide,

We’ll cherish all, in every place.

To Christ, we give our thanks anew,

For what He gave, for all He’s done,

And in this season, pure and

We view the world as a unified whole, as one.

Wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone out there,

May peace and love guide you back to where you belong.
