When we give each other
Christmas presents in His name,
Let us remember that He has given us
the sun and the moon and the stars,
the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans-
and all that lives and moves upon them.
He has given us all green things
and everything that blossoms and bears fruit-
and all that we quarrel about
and all that we have misused-
And to save us from our foolishness,
from our sins,
He came down to earth
and gave us Himself.
