Christmas Comes

Christmas comes
Not with gifts and glitter and gaiety,
Not with parties, Santa and trees.

Christmas comes 
To the reverent heart in the quiet of night,
Illuminated by Christ's holy, sacrificial light. 

The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined. Isaiah 9:2
