This might be an odd opinion
But I like that Christmas isn't only for Christians.
We Christians can still have our nativity
Our bible readings
And our joy in a saviour's birth
But I like that everyone has a reason to feel happy
A lot of Christian things I see in mainstream
I feel a little bit ashamed of.
Christians insisting people follow their morals
Discriminating against those who don't
Not showing us as lambs following a shepherd
Not showing that we love our neighbours
So, take your Santa dressed up in red
Enjoy your John Lewis adverts
Spend time with family
Give presents, even bad ones
Sing along to a variety of songs less than a century old
Embrace every part of Christmas you enjoy
Let's share in the parts of this holiday we both like
And maybe I have this extra part too
And maybe you have traditions from elsewhere
But let's both take a celebration of togetherness
Let's both feel cheer
And be festive in an otherwise cold part of the year
