WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?

This holiest of all the nights, I wonder what it means? It's surely more than candlelights On tinselled evergreens. It's more than toys that make it dear And eating pleasant things, For if you listen right you'll hear A murmuring of wings. My grandma says its more than fun And hanging up your stocking. It's knowing any needy one Might be the Savior knocking. It's helping those who feel the rod Of grief and heavy labors. I guess its being nice to God By loving all your neighbors by John Neihardt
