I know you're getting a lot this Christmas
And that your family and friends are glad,
And after you've counted your blessings,
You'll say "It's the best Christmas I've had!"


Your first blessing, is your faith in Jesus,
And the present He gave, comes to mind,
For when Jesus died, He paid for  our sins,
His blood was the greatest gift to mankind!


Your family spending time together,
With hugs and kisses, around the tree,
Sharing stories of loved ones departed,
Knowing, the best things in life are free!


Then friends that will be coming over,
Drinking eggnog and singing a song,
These are your best friends, forever,
And they are for you, all the day long!


Your faith, family, and friends you love,
Your relationship, with your Savior above,
Your best Christmas, it is what I meant,
Are the great gifts, that don't cost a cent!
