the secret of christmas

it's not the glow you feel when snow appears

it's not the christmas card you've sent for years

not the joyful sound when sleigh bells ring

or the merry songs

children sing

the little gift you send on christmas day

will not bring back the friend you turned away

so may i suggest the secret of christmas

it's not the things you do at christmastime

but the christmas things you do all year through
