Is This All There Is To Christmas Morn?

A few years ago I wrote a Christmas song. Below are the lyrics. I don't have a decent recording of it, so just imagine it being sung by Michael Buble to an amazing tune.

Is This All There Is to Christmas Morn?

Verse 1

Preparations made, All the gifts sit underneath the tree.

Minds filled with wonder, Each package full of hope and mystery.

Verse 2

Did they remember, After oh so many lists and hints were given.

That one special gift That would make life truly worth the living.

Chorus 1

Year after year when the paper and bows

Lay shredded on the floor.

So many gifts were opened,

But not the one I’m longing for.

Everything I needed, just not what I wanted,

Yet still I hoped for something more.

Is this all there is to Christmas morn?

Verse 3

Still a young virgin, All her life ahead was yet to be.

Her mind filled with wonder, Each day full of hope and mystery.

Verse 4

The angel appeared, He spoke words that were very hard to hear.

But in simple faith, Mary asked the Father to come near.

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge

While picking up the wrap and bows

That were strewn across the floor.

I found the family Bible

And opened it once more.

Luke’s story brought me back to Bethlehem.

A baby born in a manger filled with hay.

The greatest gift in all the world

Came to me on that blessed day.

This is all there is to Christmas morn!

Chorus 2

Now year after year when the paper and bows

Lay shredded on the floor.

All the gifts were opened

How could we long for more?

I remember the Baby, lying in the manger

Now there’s no need for something more.

This is all there is to Christmas morn!
