Spirit of Christmas

It is Christmas Eve and you’re feeling all alone.
Because your spouse and kids are gone;
Your friends they are not home.
Remember this not just today, but every day this year.
You are loved in ways you might not see,
In ways that come unexpectedly.
Christmas is not just one day;
Our kindness carries on.
‘Cause we focus on one month,
It’s where we’ve gone wrong.
The Spirit of Christmas,
It will draw others near.
It can live within our hearts,
All throughout the year.
It is Christmas Day, and you’ve turned on the TV.
Believe that you are not alone;
Receive a hug from me.
Though I’m not there next to you, you are on my mind.
I understand what you’re going through,
Though the world it can be blind.
Christmas is not just one day;
Our kindness carries on.
‘Cause we focus on one month,
It’s where we’ve gone wrong.
The Spirit of Christmas,
It will draw others near.
It can live within our hearts,
All throughout the year.
It can live within our hearts,
Every day this year.
