On This Most Precious of Holidays
As I listen to Christmas Carols

On this cold crisp Winters night

My problems seem unimportant

When in this holy light

The beautiful Christmas Season

Takes me back a bit

Back to childhood

To a tree with not much under it

It really did not matter

Our lives were very plain

There was the deepest pleasure

From even a candy cane

The tinsel on the tree

The glitter caught my eye

The simple beauty of it

Makes me silently cry

The beauty and the splendor

Of childhood Christmas Days

I wish for the whole wide world

On this most precious of Holidays
