• The Christmas Spirit
    Amongst the lights and tinsel
    and the parcels wrapped with care,
    Amongst the pies and puddings
    and sweet aromas in the air,
    Are hearts just spilling over
    with love and generosity;
    Is this not what Christmas is all
    about - sharing our prosperity?
    Volunteers, giving freely of their time,
    show it in their eyes.
    It's seen on the face of the less-fortunate,
    receiving a Christmas surprise.
    Carols sung as we light the tree
    can make a senior smile;
    Warm smiles and hugs can really help them
    to walk that extra mile.
    Amongst these joyous, loving deeds
    is Christmas, pure and clear;
    This is the part that could spill over,
    amongst all the days of a year.
