A TIME FOR LAUGHTER

The family gathered round
The little Christmas tree;
It had a "Charlie Brown" beginning
But was now a sight to see!

With blinking lights and candy canes
And a Christmas star on top;
With great anticipation
The children could not stop

Thinking of their holiday
And what Christmas meant to them;
It wasn't just the gifts -
It was Christ's birthday, once again!

So one little voice piped up
"Mama should bake a birthday cake!"
The grownups started to laugh
And their bellies began to shake.

It was a time for laughter
As they celebrated the season;
For while they all enjoyed the day -
They did not forget the reason!
