Signs of Christmas

Bright holly wreaths
Trimmed with red berries;
Ground white and lovely
Clothed with snow flurries.

Packages piled high
Under a bright tree.
Pies baking in the kitchen
Children singing merrily.

These are the signs
Of Christmas we know;
But signs were given
In the long ago
Of a Savior to come
To show us the Way.
He was born in a stable
Laid in a manger of hay.
He's our only reason
For this Christmas day.
