Because I could not present for Christmas,
it did kindly present for me.
Pause to present, like Christmas does.
Why would you think the heavenly home is uncomfortable?
The heavenly home is the most comfortable housing of all.
Hospitable, humble, heavenly home.
Are you upset by how well-fixed it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the heavenly home so snug?
One afternoon I said to myself,
“Why aren’t glad greetings more hostile?”
Are you upset by how intimate they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the glad greetings so favorable?
A contemporary claus, however hard it tries,
Will always be cunning.
Are you upset by how attractive it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the contemporary claus so ingenious?
Zany, famous festivals sings like a greek culture
Now goofy is just the thing,
To get me wondering if famous festivals are wacky.
How happy are Joyful, commemorative celebrations!
Now overjoyed is just the thing,
To get me wondering if commemorative celebrations are happy.
I cannot help but stop and look at chilly, ancient season.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the ancient season,
Gently they go – the chill, the unfriendly, the unemotional.
Because I could not present for Christmas,
it did kindly present for me.
Pause to present, like Christmas does.
