What Is It Really

What does it mean?
Does it mean
Holiday spirit?
We can all be happy and jolly
We can all be nice
But, what does it really mean?
Deep down inside
What does Christmas mean?
Getting presents
No, Christmas means giving not receiving
Christmas means giving other people presents
That doesn’t seem right
You can’t buy
good fortune, happiness or Christmas spirit
Isn’t that what you’re doing
If you could buy it
what would it be?
money?
How can you buy money?
No, it just isn’t right
I’m being a Grinch
And if you think
all the things I’ve said are right
the things about getting presents and money
you’re a Grinch too
Christmas means
love
being together
with family
and friends
Everyone eating together
warm, dry, full, cheerful
under one roof
That’s the best Christmas present yet
Being
warm
dry
full to the rim of delicious food
Covered in love
 by people where love grows together
like a bond
to hold us all together
I thought so much
For so long
It is now time for bed
After all that thinking
Something paid off
I now know
What Christmas means
What it’s really about
FamilyIt’s really all mental
