You Want the Perfect Christmas

Have you ever thought you could achieve the perfect Christmas?
Pull it all off without glitches?
Give everyone the exact gift they want?
I’ve wished for it. Thought on it. But never truly achieved it.
Is the perfect Christmas a possibility?
You Want The Perfect Christmas
You want the perfect Christmas?
To keep the traditions
You coordinate renditions
Of colorful gift wrap and ribbons.
“Twas the night” is included
No dance of the Nutcracker excluded.
Yet they don’t fulfill.
They simply spill
A few sprinkles of temporary happiness
Like the sugar cookies baked from scratch,
You catch a momentary glimpse of joy
Then it’s gone.
You search for the perfect gift.
Avoiding the snuggies,
A Red Rider won’t work,
Yet you can’t shirk
This once a year opportunity to please
The ones you love
How hard can it be?
You strive for holiday bliss.
The Christmas bells ring;
Lovely carols you sing
Because you have no doubt
that the best way to spread Christmas cheer
Is singing loud for all to hear.
Yet your soul feels worse
Your spirit perhaps cursed
And your heart as small and unfulfilled
As the Grinch in his sled on top of the hill.
You want the perfect Christmas?
He waits for you at the stable
See him lying as a babe in a manger
His life laid down for you a stranger
His birth
His blood
His joy
All for you and it all began with
The Perfect Christmas.
Don’t miss it.
Relive it.
Soak it in.
Be renewed in Him.
When you get what it means
To have the perfect Christmas,
Then truly
It’s a wonderful life.
