Waiting,

We are all waiting, counting down the days until Christmas,

Counting down the days until we wake up with a tree full of presents,

And stockings overflowing with our favorite things,

Waiting,

Waiting until I get to see distant family and eat good food,

Waiting for gifts and presents of course too,

Waiting for the best holiday of all,

Waiting until we get out of school,

Waiting 

But Christmas isn’t just about receiving gifts,

Its about the people we miss,

Its about the people who aren’t as fortunate,

Its about giving, not receiving,

But people don’t always see it that way, they think its all about the old man and his sleigh,

They say its all about getting new things, seeing new places,

Waiting

Waiting until Christmas time becomes a holiday of giving,

Not receiving.
