Loving our neighbor is Christmas message

Jesus was born on this wonderful day

He taught us how to love God and pray

And through stories and parables he showed us the way

Loving our neighbor shows we care

By going to Mass and spending time in prayer

We spread God’s love everywhere

Jesus showed us how to forgive

On the cross he died so we could live

At Christmas, mercy, kindness and love we should give

This Christmas don’t worry about the present

Remember what Christmas really meant

God’s son Jesus to us was sent
