Christmas is a golden glow
Of evergreens and soft white snow
Of presents and a tree-well trimmed
And Christmas morning church well-hymned
Of Christmas dinner after grace
With family seated at its place
A Christmas ham with bread and wine
So crisp you taste the very vine
Yes Christmas is a wondrous day
Of feasts and laughter, fun and play
But few recall and fewer know
A child was born so long ago
