The freeze of winter came today
It brought the snow and chose to stay.
I'd like to take the next train out
To warmer climates in the south.
But it's not so bad to be up here
To celebrate with Christmas cheer
The birth of Jesus Christ our Lord
To our erring and misguided world,
Calling us to be like him
And bring redemption from our sins.
When snow is crisp and bright and new
It shows us what His love can do.
So, I will stay here in my home
And go to church on Christmas morn.

So celebrate the lack with plenty and the cold with warmth. A lovely write
