Marty thought and thought as he sat on his bed
About all of the things his father had said
Of how Christmas should mean so much more
Than candy, cookies, and presents galore
He thought about the meaning behind Christmas lights
The reasons for Santa and Oh Holy Nights
It seemed that all of the things he’d been taught
Had missed their mark, were surely for naught
Year after year this riddle he’d ponder
Pour over it, and into it, time and wonder
And as the years passed by inside of him grew
The meaning of Christmas…until he was certain he know
Christmas is support and guidance from God above
Christmas is friendship and caring and love
The birth of the Christ child by the manger gate
Is what Christmas was intended to celebrate
Each year he did more for his friends and for others
Made toys for kids, gave food to their mothers
All of this because he learned from his dad
That the more he gave, the more he had
Marty thought and thought as he sat on his bed
About all of the things to his son he had said
Of how Christmas should mean so much more
Than candy, cookies, and presents galore
