Looking back in time, a wonderful way to understanding who Christmas is for.

                     If all were now as it was when
                       Christ came to save us all,
            And Christmas Day were Christmas Day,
                          Not some day we recall;

                     And in the East we saw a star
                          Exceptionally bright,
                  And wondered what was going on
                            That ordinary night;

                   If God were walking in our midst,
                              Saying what He said,
                     And we were not His followers,
                    But trod where He would tread;

                   And we were witness to His word
                        And looked Him in the eye,
                 And found His message interesting
                            But too bizarre to buy;

                           If we were in Jerusalem
                    And watched Him bear the cross,
                     And suffered with His suffering
                        But feared to share His loss;

                         And saw Him die in agony,
                            And wondered at it all,
              And this were something we ourselves,
                          Not printed books recall:

                      What would be the difference,
                      Had we known Him that way,
                 Between the faith we feared to feel
                         And what we fear today?
