Questions at Christmas <\/u><\/p>\n
I would like a stocking full of toys<\/p>\n
Laughter, laughter all around,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wonder what is Christmas without gifts?<\/p>\n
Is it a place of never giving?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What if Santa doesn`t come this Christmas?<\/p>\n
What if he is off ill?<\/p>\n
No-one will get presents on this special day-<\/p>\n
Life without Christmas would be heart-breaking.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do elves actually exist?<\/p>\n
Or is it just make-believe?<\/p>\n
When I was a child I loved Christmas-<\/p>\n
I once saw him come down the chimney-<\/p>\n
He took all the carrots, the mince pie and especially the milk,<\/p>\n
But now I think to myself- what is Christmas all about?<\/p>\n
Is it about love or laughter or is it about..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Christmas all about the giving of gifts or the receiving of gifts?\u201d someone once said to me,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019It`s all about the giving not receiving,\u2019\u2019 I answered back,<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019I know it might be the opposite<\/p>\n
To you but it`s better my way; it`s all about the gifts you give that show you really care and that you\u2019re thinking of them this Christmas!\u201d<\/p>\n
But is that really true? Or am I wrong and it`s the opposite way round<\/p>\n
Well you tell me\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have been waiting for Christmas and now the day has come- Santa\u2019s nearly here!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pray a merry Christmas,<\/p>\n
Made bright by Christmas cheer!<\/p>\n
With peace, hope and gladness!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Merry Christmas everyone!<\/p>\n
