T’was the night before Christmas, & all through the flat,
The family were asleep, even the dog and cat.
No stockings were hung, no presents by the tree,
No gifts for Christmas seemed quite a catastrophe.
The years before there had been gifts aplenty,
But sacrifices had to be made in the year 2020.
With jobs lost, & no blessing of a Christmas bonus,
Would leave most people feeling sad & anxious.
But not this family who knew the true Christmas spirit,
Wasn’t about the gifts or luxury food for a banquet.
It was about having family & friends & showing love.
And celebrating Jesus, their greatest gift from above.
So even though there’d be no gifts from Santa this year,
The family’s heart & home were still filled with good cheer.
Silver tinsel sparkled the edges of their bookshelf,
With plenty of ornaments, even Buddy the Christmas elf.
The family awoke on Christmas, happy, singing Carols,
About Jesus’s birth in Bethlehem & Hark, the singing angels.
They hugged & they laughed & they still had food to eat,
Ready to spread the Christmas spirit to everyone they’d meet.
