Solstice
This year,21 December is the crucial day:
Earth, Sun, in their ancient dance.
Do they need our help?
The day, here in the North, shrinking;
what should be, if any, our concern?
Offer up our Christmas gifts
to beg exchange for longer days?
Hold vigil at Stonehenge,
believing that all our being,
all our attention, is what we owe,
to earn a daylight that
may not continue on the morrow
to shrink to eternal darkness?
Feel so small, as we contemplate
The mysteries of the universe?
Feel so great, as we participate
in so vast a system?
Or just, a private moment’s awe,
then back to Christmas obligations?
How quick we’ll be, though,
to note the day’s few bonus minutes
in a week or two – post-Christmas gift
that was delayed in some almighty post;
secretly, we’re sure that we deserve it;
yet, a lifting of the heart, while we forget
December’s heaviness.
I have not mentioned love.

Too Late For Merry Christmas?
Is it too late for Merry Christmas, too late for the greatest of Gifts?
Is God’s greatest offer limited to, a holiday known to me and you?
Some have Christmas in July, the reason for it, do you know why?
Is Christmas a day Christ was born, a day today, many just scorn?
Can’t we celebrate all year long, Christ with hearts filled with song?
Christmas for obvious reason, comes around for only one season,
And our Christmas as the holiday, with the tree, gets packed away,
But Christ throughout all the year, through His Spirit is always here.
Christmas is just a reminder for, a world trying to dismiss our Lord,
Where many don’t know who He is, while they relish receiving gifts,
When Christmas is over for them, we go on with Christ, as a friend,
Who is with us all year through, to offer God’s Gift to men like you.
So this day and all year through, this happy greeting I’ll say to you,
Merry Christmas and I’m not late, giving you words to contemplate.
Not too late to share with one, greetings in the name of God’s Son,
Who came not to make a holiday, but be for all God’s Narrow Way.
It’s never too late at all for me, to greet you in the power of Calvary,
Where Christmas was truly sealed; and all become spiritually healed,
Point Christmas to Calvary’s Cross; God’s Gift to the spiritually lost,
Away from all Christmas has become, and back to God’s Only Son.

Christmas without you
Baby you know its true
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
I don't care about gifts or anything new
Cause Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
its just not Christmas without you...
Christmas day is near
I still wish you were here
I've been walking around
all over this town
the darkness of theses nights
are scared away with Christmas lights
that remind me of when I was a little boy
and all I wanted was that special toy
now its about my family and its joy
with nights colder than Atlanta
We got milk and cookies for Santa
you can even hear the carolers sing
sounds perfect but missing one thing
And baby You know its true
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
I don't care about gifts or anything new
Cause Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
its just not Christmas without you...
we've got six inches of snow
and people kissing under the mistletoe
nights that feel so slow
and the days so long
everything's right but so wrong
kids in bed earlier than all year
waiting for Santa and his reindeer
Kids hoping this year they get all the right things
they run downstairs as soon as the alarm rings
the gifts are under the tree
but I still want you next to me
And baby You know its true
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
I don't care about gifts or anything new
Cause Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
its just not Christmas without you...

Merry Christmas, Baby
Christmas is here
We can spend it together
This December twenty-fifth
We will always remember
You're first on my Christmas list this year
To hold you in my arms right here
Unlike other Christmas gifts
Our love cannot be wrapped in a bow
Because as others know
Our love continues to grow and grow
I'll write our names in the snow
With hearts all around
Etched until the snow fades away
Though it melts, our love will stay
I can kiss you under the mistletoe
On your cheek, or on your nose
You're free to kiss me wherever we go
Money is spent on roses and rings
Though they are meaningful things
Words and touch are just as great
Except that they will never break
You are my Christmas wish
My Christmas dream
The perfect gift given to me
I love you with my heart, soul, and all of my life
Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight

Christmas Just Ain't Christmas Without You
Don't you know
It always happens
Same time every year.
Snow flakes and heartaches
And that lonesome Christmas chill
I keep going through emotions
Hiding from the truth (oh yes I do)
Don't you know that Chritmas
Just ain't Christmas without you.
You know Christmas
Hasn't been the same
Since the day you left.
I still send you
Real tight greetings
Hoping someday
You might forget
I try to hold up tradition
Do all the things we used to do (oh yes I do)
But you know that Christmas
Just ain't Chritmas without you.
'Cause all are having Silent night
Memories of how we used to be (yeah)
And all would come back to my world
If you just let Santa bring
Your sweet love home to me.
There's a season
To be happy
But Lord, Lord I feel so blue
'Cause girl Christmas
Just ain't Christmas without you.
(help me...)
--- Instrumental ---
There's a season
To be happy now
But Lord, I feel so blue
Because Christmas
Just ain't Christmas
You know Christmas
Just ain't Christmas
You know Christmas
Just ain't Christmas without you...

Christmas Everyday
He was born so far away
So the story's told
We remember Christmas Day
When winter days grow cold
With the time it passes by
We put away the trim
Then we live and wonder why
We can't remember Him
The Christmas star shines once a year
And then it fades away
Keep the spirit in your-our heart
It's Christmas everyday (christmas everyday)
It's not the bells and it's not the snow
And it's not the gifts we get
But He was born so long ago
It's easy to forget
Peace on earth, good will to-oo men
But men can't go alone
We get lost along the way
But He can bring us ho-o-o-o-o-o-ome
Remember Him throughout the year
Without the star above
He left us all a Christmas gift
He left the gift of love
The Christmas star shines once a year
And then it fades away
Keep the spirit in your-our heart
And it's Christmas every day...

Give Love On A Christmas Day
people making lists, buying special gifts,
It's a time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year when good friends are dear
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on christmas day (on christmas day)
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on christmas day (on christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smiling out hello
Everywhere there's an air of christmas joy
It's that once a year, when the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on christmas day (on christmas day)
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know that there's one cares
Give love on christmas day (christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on christmas day (on christmas day)
Oh every little child on santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on christmas day (christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Give love on christmas day (christmas day) ...

December
Where is the december of mine, with an amazing atmosphere and slender of joy....
To over crowed business places
With smile on everyone faces! ! !
December where are you! ! !
With the coldness due to winter,
Down to the tropic in the caribbean..
With crazy christmas trees and declaration and fiery lights.....
December you to far.
With finger licking turkey and hams to
Exchange of gifts,
Amazing families reunions.........
Cookies and milk awaits santa.
Because I was not naughty for the year.
Everyone is looking farward for that spcial month...
December............
I can feel the warmth of joy and love in the air....
Its a season everyone love.
December where are you..........

Christmas with you...
It’s Christmas again
Some weeks before the 25th of December,
Lots of people
Crowds everywhere
Rushing and pushing and shoving,
Going nowhere,
But I can still see you in jewellery shops,
Buying my favourite jewelleries…
And on Christmas day,
The golden warmth of your love for me,
Responding to the sunshine
Makes my Christmas special.
The air is magic
On Christmas morning
And you are here to cuddle me from the cold!
Each year we grow up,
The more we get attracted by each other
And the more love surprises us!
We still are the same,
We still think of Santa,
And we are not finished with him yet…
We still get excited on the month of December
like we did on the Christmas before
You see there is no difference…
Except our height under the mistletoe!

Our Christmas
Our Christmas
Christmas came early for you and for me
Christmas with no gifts to open
Christmas without any yuletide tree
Christmas with words of love spoken
Christmas was walking to York hand in hand
Christmas in awe at the Minster
Christmas togetherness was just what we planned
Christmas was chaffed legs and blisters
Christmas was cups of tea served early morn
Christmas was being together
Christmas was loving from dusk until dawn
Christmas remembered forever
Christmas was driving through floods for the view
Christmas ‘our planning’ was starting
Christmas our Christmas meant so much to me
Christmas our bitter sweet parting

Christmas With You
This Christmas i am not alone
This Christmas i have somebody to hold
This Christmas doesn't feel like last Christmas
This Christmas is when I came alive
Last Christmas I was sad
Last Christmas I was lonely
Last Christmas I had nobody to hold
But then This Christmas came
I was happy
I was excited because I had somebody to hold
This Christmas was better with you then without you.

Christmas Wish
Christmas ain't the same...
Oh girl
Christmas ain't the same without you
Waiting for the day I'll see you again
It's Christmas night
I'm by the fire side
Wishing that you were by
(could share our one love one last time)
And baby I
I need you near me
Right here with me
For eternity
Oh oh
Exchanging gifts of
Warmth and tenderness
Holding you close
This is my Christmas wish
Christmas ain't the same without you
It just doesn't feel like it used to
Waiting for the day I'll see you again
(until I see you again)
I hold my breath and pray to the stars
For you till then
Baby I made some mistakes that I
Fully regret inside
(Why can't we get one more try)
I loved you girl with all of my heart
Right from the start
Thought we'd never part
Oh no
Feeling your touch and your eternal bliss
That is my only Christmas wish
Christmas ain't the same without you
It just doesn't feel like it used to
Waiting for the day I'll see you again
(until I see you again)
I hold my breath and pray to the stars
For you till then
Oh girl
Christmas ain't the same without you
(Christmas ain't the same without you)
It just doesn't feel like it used to
Waiting for the day I'll see you again
(until I see you again)
I hold my breath and pray to the stars
For you till then
Oh no

Pathetic on christmas
It's Christmas eve
and I'm seated on this same old chair
in front of this same old tube
I'm a pathetic little twig
left on a christmas tree lot
on a very merry christmas eve
It happens to everyone
Oh yes it does...maybe it does..
It must...or could i be the only one?
Nooo...i musn't think this way
Christmas happens every year,
whether we like it or not...
It's no big deal...
but see I got no gifts to share...
maybe i'll give someone
my pc...just so i could show
some christmas spirit...
An I won't even feel bitter
it's christmas eve...
I'll just report it stolen the next day.

Where Are You Christmas
Where are you christmas
Why cant I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why cant I hear music play
My world is changing
Im rearranging
Does that mean christmas changes too
Where are you christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
Im not the same one
See what the times done
Is that why you have let me go
Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like christmas all the time
I feel you christmas
I know Ive found you
You never fade away
The joy of christmas
Stays here in silence
Fills each and every heart with love
Where are you christmas
Fills your heart with love

Christmas past
Christmas past
We always had a Christmas tree
My wife would decorate it without me
So many gifts by the tree
No empty space could you see
Our little ones would crawl all around
They would try climbing the gift mound
Year after year on Christmas morning
Kids tearing open gifts and I’m yawning
The kids woke early on Christmas day
We told the kids your older so go away
With the years going by
We could sleep longer my wife and I
Now since its just me
No more do I need a Christmas tree
My kids now grown and they see
What its like to do the Christmas tree

Christmas Spirit
Everyone gather near
And Ill tell you a story that youll love
Ooh its christmas time
The seasons right
The seasons right
And all around the world we celebrate the birth of christ
He came to bring us peace
He came to bring us everything that we need
To set us free
Oh I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
Oh I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
As a child I still recall
Well christmas was my favorite season of them all
Oh my heart was filled with child night praise
And I hope there is you know it
Why the savior came
He came to bring us peace
He came to bring us everything that we need
To set us free
Now I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
Yes I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
So turn your heart throbs in
And let God grow within
Not to destroy
The greatest gift Ive known
He came to earth to bring love
To show us love
He came to bring us peace
He came to bring us joy
He came to bring us everything
Have faith if we believe
The gift that we receive
Is like that love and everything
The greatest gift Ive known
He came to earth to bring love
He came to bring us everything
Still l long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
Yes I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
Now I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart

Christmas To Christmas
Seems like only yesterday
We put our Christmas things away
Now here's another Christmas day with you
When you're in love, how time does fly
And this year that's just flown by
Had been one happy holiday for two
Christmas to Christmas
Wrapped in your arms
Love's always in season
And always so warm
Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you
Yes, the givin' season's here again
Time to love your fellow man
Yuletide smiles are in demand, it's true
The love we share is for all time
We'll feel its glow right through July
To melt the cold when winter flies anew
Christmas to Christmas
Wrapped in your arms
Love's always in season
And always so warm
Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you
Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

Its almost Christmas here and there
It's almost Christmas here and there
Ever 1st day of September,
Everyone got their reminder.
Freakin' out coz it's almost December,
Coz it's almost Christmas here and there.
At malls you can hear Christmas song,
Colorful decor and lights displayed along.
Starts hearing ding dong bells everywhere,
Coz it's almost Christmas here and there.
They say Christmas is only for children,
But it's for everybody who believes in.
Time to merry, time to cheer,
Coz it's almost Christmas here and there.
Yes, it's almost Christmas here and there.
But the question is 'are you prepared? '
Prepared not for the gift giving,
But to give peace, love and be forgiving.
Christmas is the season for joy,
Prayers is best gift you can give not things nor toys.
Happiness I always felt on this season,
That's why I'm so excited for the day Jesus Christ was born.
