Good evening, my friend across the globe
That things are well, I surely hope
I have just been reading the letters you sent me
Happy to know you haven’t forgotten
Good morning, my friend across the globe
Things have been well just has you have hoped
Approaching are the holidays that I’ve been awaiting
So Merry Christmas, in the days that are coming
This month that is coming start our season of harvest
And this month is when you celebrate Christmas
Although I’m not quite sure what you mean by the phrase
Who is this Christmas? Who are these holidays?
Christmas is the return of the snow and the skates
The warmth of the fire and the tree we decorate
Christmas is the spirit that tells you to give
Without regard of what you would receive
But my friend, snow and winter
They’re but a foreign notion here
Does that mean there’s no Christmas here?
Christmas is everywhere, unbound by seasons
Unbound by acceptance, unbound by religion
Maybe he’s in the city, where I find a figure universal
Is Christmas the man that I see in the commercials
Robed in red and white, giving gifts to the nice kids?
Going in through chimneys as the night strikes mid?
To be honest, I don’t know if he truly is Christmas
Or if it’s the familiar tunes I can’t get out of my system
Some say it’s the baby the wise men did visit
Following the the savior the star was implicit
Oh how I wish we observed this such peaceful occasion
One of joy, and of giving, and of heartfelt appreciation
Oh how I wish we’d all come forth and unite in celebration
With no hate in our hearts, but with love as foundation
So tell me, what’s your Christmas wish?
For Christmas to be in our hearts everyday in our lives.
Merry Christmas to you, my friend
And Happy Holidays to you
