When is Christmas Really Over?

When the song of the angels is stilled,

When the star in the sky is gone,

When the kings and the princes are back home,

When the shepherds are back with the flocks,

Then the work of Christmas begins:

To feed the lost,

To heal those broken in spirit,

To release the oppressed,

To rebuild the nations,

To bring peace among all peoples,

To make a little music with the heart

…And to radiate the light of Christ,

Everyday, in every way, in all that we do and in all that we say.

Then the work of Christmas begins.

Let the work of Christmas begin, and let it begin in me.
