Christmas does, to all of us,
In a manner remind
That it carries messages
Of so many a kind.
The first message, obvious,
Is doing what Christ said.
He taught frugality, we
Live lavishly, instead.
The second message is that
We rejoice in Christ’s birth
And, with family and friends,
We sing and dance with mirth.
The third message is we should
Have love for all mankind
And, towards the suffering
Of others, not be blind.
