Christmas Holiday Thanks Poem by louis rams

Christmas holidays are fast approaching
Many people with mixed emotions
This economy has hurt so many
That the people are not too friendly'

Money is very tight- many can't see the light
Many children see and they understand
And they try to give a helping hand.

Some even offer their piggy banks
The parents smile and give them thanks.
How many of us can deny this holiday
We always make it - we find the way.
Yes! Christmas is a day of giving
But CHRIST has made this life worth living.
I found comfort when I took my children in my arms
And knew I protected them from all harm

The holidays do mean a lot to me
But without my family where would I be?
This is the year that we must vow
With GODS help we'll make it somehow.

The economy will not dampen my spirits or put me down
I will laugh and joke and play around.
I will smile as I pass people by, greet them and just say
HI, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
GOOD WILL AND GOOD CHEER!

My children and I will walk hand in hand
The birth of CHRIST is what we understand
He gave his life so that we can be free
So to hell with this economy.
Enjoy your family for they are worth more than gold
It is something that you can forever hold.
