And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small
And the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
Was singing without any presents at all
And they were sore afraid
He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming. It came!
And the angel said unto them,
Somehow or other, it came just the same.
"Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,"
And the Grinch, with his Grinch feet ice-cold in the snow
"Which shall be to all people."
Stood puzzling and puzzling. "How could it be so?"
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David"
"It came without ribbons! It came without tags!"
"A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
"It came without packages, boxes, or bags!"
"And this shall be a sign unto you;"
He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore
"Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger"
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
And suddenly there was an angel with a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,"
Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!
"Good will toward men."
Merry Christmas!
Peace and Blessings.
