Lots of really nice sentiments here. I loved it. 
Would make good material for a song :).

>Jesus Who came down to earth As God in the flesh 
>When Mary gave birth. Christmas is presents 
>Piled under the tree To symbolize those Brought

>mother With little helpers, Sister and brother. 
>Christmas is pine trees Dressed up to the hilt 
>In sparkles and light And color and gilt. 
>Christmas is letters You write out with care 
>Because through the year There's not time to 
>share. Christmas is singing Of peace and good 
>cheer With fam'ly gathered From far and from 
>near. Christmas is Santa Who visits the tots 
>Who've written wish lists With crayons or dots. 
>Christmas is eggnog That many folks buy When 
>elves are busy And eight reindeer fly. Christmas 
>is stockings That Santa Claus fills With toys 
>for the good Little Jacks and Jills. Christmas 
>is snowmen That little hands mold When children 
>are out In the wintry cold. Christmas is magic 
>And mystery and love, A special season Sent down 
>from above. For Christmas is God As a man-child 
>born To die on a cross And raise up one morn. 
>Barbara Let every nation know whether it wishes

>friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the 
>survival and the success of liberty.--John F.
