Who Invented Christmas?
Who invented Christmas Day?
the children asked of me
who would have thought of
giving gifts and decorating trees
And why is Santa Claus, St. Nick
and did he really live?
I smiled and held them close to me
as answer I would give.
Come, listen, my dear children
it all began this way
the God we love so dearly
sent us a gift one day
He said, because, I love you
I'll put my son on earth and that
is where it all began
with Baby Jesus' birth.
So, then, because they called
Him Christ, we call it Christmas Day,
for God had sent His Son to us
with love to show the way.
The gifts are just a symbol of our
love, for our brothers and sisters
as God had said, if you love Me,
you must love one another
I think perhaps our Christmas
tree reminds us of the manger
where wise men, travelled very far to
the Blessed Stranger.
But what about our Santa Claus?
does he love God too?
O yes, I'm very sure he does
He works the whole year through
To make our Christmas be a day
of love and joy in giving.
Our santa claus is just one way to
show in us Christ is living
Dear children, let us not forget
the joy of His Sweet Birthday
as God invented Christmas Day
to send His Son to earth.
