The Best Christmas Present
By: Noah Eaton
12/23/00

The angels sing heavenly, the carolers singing is too
The candles burn with beautiful incense and the decorations are cute
But there is nothing that touches my heart more
Than the love and the light we all share together, that keeps us warm

The sugar plum fairies illuminate all of Christmas with words and magic all so dear
Frosty the snowman makes magic to winter come alive, along with Rudolph and the other reindeer
But there is nothing more magical, no, not even mistletoe
Than all the laughter and cheer we make together, which lights up our souls

You all have filled me with happiness and hope that lights up my heart
May my love and light for you forever twinkle like the stars
You all are like the fire that warms up my heart during these long cold days
Your words always fill me with hope my dreams will come true, and protect me from pain

The egg nog is tasty, so is the figgy pudding
The hot chocolate is tempting, along with all the other treats
But there is something much more sweeter, sweeter than even a candy cane truly
The sweet tender love and care we all cherish together, in all it’s glory

There is much in life that money can buy
But for all this beautiful love we share, there is no price
The best Christmas present of all is the one we all treasure together
All the love, all the sharing, there is nothing more I could ask for…

Lights of all colors blink incredibly in the night
Decorating houses and trees with true holiday light
But there is even a brighter light that shines deep from each of you
A light of faith and love that shines magnificently true

Icicles sparkle like crystals at night adding evening glitter
Soft winter flurries fall down like angels cotton making magic of the winter
But nothing glows as bright as your beautiful words and voice
That I read and listen to, which leaves me with tears, amazement, and rejoice

There is much in life that money can buy
But for all this beautiful love we share, there is no price
The best Christmas present of all is the one we all treasure together
All the love, all the sharing, there is nothing more I could ask for…

You all have given me the best present one can have, I thank you all so much
You all are the best friends I’ve ever had, you all fill me with hopes genteel touch
You all are like rainbow dancers, singing your songs of love and peace every night and day
I love you all so much, and I wish you love, and the happiest holidays…

and fill every corner and crevice of
this earth, still this wouldn't be enough"
