What does Christmas mean to me
Well sometimes christmas isn't all
It's cracked up to be
To me sometimes
Christmas get too artificial
Too unreal

Sure the lights are beautiful
And the thought of giving a gift is nice
But what happened to celebrating
Christmas just for the family

A tree with mismatched decorations
The star tilting down
The lights are blinking
Because one isn't working

Or to me the best and the hardest to give
The gifts that sit under the tree
Waiting to be opened
Maybe it's the gifts that are given with
A smile or hug
Might even be a wish of holiday cheer

Most people always want expensive things
They forget that money isn't everything
They want fancy things
Jewellery and shoes galore

Sure those things are nice to get
And heck I wouldn't mind getting it
But what happened to the feeling
The tingles we get
When someone opens something that the wanted

Something with meaning
That when you see
You'll remember
"Hey! someone cared for me
Enough to buy something
Just for me"

But I'm no grinch
And I don't plan to be
Celebrate Christmas how you please
Give what you want
Receive what ever you please

But Christmas to me
Will always be about
The feelings and the memories
I receive
Being with my friends and family
Jess

Spread some holiday cheer even if you don't feeling like it yourself
Sing a song while walking or simile to a stranger
Who knows the love might grow until you receive some back and even if you don't
Well at least you can look back and say you tried
