A Christmas Poem

Christmas Eve is finally here
And snow falls down in flurries
As I sit in my cubicle
While my wife's at home and worries.

There's much to wrap and prep and do
'Fore day darkens to night
And then still more to assemble
Before Christmas' dawning light.

It is no easy task to be
Santa's elves and aid-ers
When one is stuck at work all day
Pushing Yuletide tasks 'til laters.

But once I'm home and kids' in bed
We'll rush to get them done
And hope to get a few hour's rest
Before the morning fun.

Now if you find this story
Sounds a little bit like yours
Please heed this next advice
While wrapping up your chores.

The work you do this evening
Will quickly be undone
And may the gifts you chose with care
Bring hours of laughs and fun.

But there's a gift that's given
That's not among the wrapping
Please don't forget to think on it
Before you head to napping.

It is a gift of sacrifice,
Of unconditioned love;
'Tis the Savior's lowly birth,
A gift from God above.

So Remind yourselves and small ones
Of the gift that gave us reason
To follow suit and give our gifts
This holy Christmas season.

(An original poem by the Nice Guy)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

May you be reminded of
the true reason
for the season!
