Christmas is upon us<\/span>
that great season of the year<\/span>
where people are always smiling<\/span>
spreading Christmas cheer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018tis the season of baby Jesus,<\/span>
the child that was born in the night<\/span>
it is Him that we\u2019ve come to worship<\/span>
and pray to this Holy night.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

that child that lay in the manger<\/span>
in a stable so far away<\/span>
and yet they came to behold Him<\/span>
a King, born this day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the shepherds and the wise men<\/span>
traveled from near and far<\/span>
searching for baby Jesus<\/span>
following the Eastern Star.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

there they found Him laying<\/span>
and they fell on bended knee<\/span>
to worship baby Jesus<\/span>
the King who would set them free.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

they bore Him gifts of splendour<\/span>
frankincense, myrrh and gold<\/span>
gifts for the might King<\/span>
that the whole world should be told.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and in this spirit of giving<\/span>
as the wise men did of old<\/span>
we give our gifts to loved ones<\/span>
as frankincense, myrrh and gold.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is upon us<\/span>
so let us spread that cheer<\/span>
let\u2019s give the gift of wise men<\/span>
and make it last throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
