There is something about Christmas, <br />In Santa Claus and twinkling trees, <br />In the joy and laughter of every child, <br />People kneeling in prayer on arthritic knees. <br /> <br />There is something about Christmas, <br />Though many wishes and dreams may fail. <br />It is something we have learned to accept <br />Through each Yuletide trail. <br /> <br />There is something about Christmas, <br />Something that overwhelms the heart, <br />And it is displayed in every household <br />Of thoughtful and gentle people miles apart. <br /> <br />There is something about Christmas, <br />A magnificent day for old and young, <br />For it seems that people are more pleasant <br />When the traditional carols are sung. <br /> <br />There is something about Christmas, <br />A day of grace and visions of peace <br />And nothing on earth can destroy it. <br />Joy and peace on earth will never cease. <br /> <br />There is something about Christmas <br />When church bells ring and candles glow, <br />Signaling that Christ was born in a manger <br />In the holy city of Bethlehem - years ago.<br /><br />Joseph T. Renaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-about-christmas/
