- If There's No Need
-
- If there's no need for
Christmas trees or snow upon the ground
- No need for ribbons on a package
that you woke up and found
- Or sounds of "Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer" playing in your head
- and if you can't see old Santa
riding high inside his sled
-
- If there's no need to gather
family round a table full of food
- nor reason to give that neighbor a
helping hand cause he was rude
- Why bother sending folks cards
that speak of Christmas cheer?
- Why drive yourself insane getting
through this time of year?
-
- If you'd rather treat December
twenty five like any day
- Cause it's too cold or it's too
hot or there's just one bale of hay
- Or the other folks are making too
much fuss about it all
- And you're worn out in November by
the sounds of "Deck the Hall"
-
- Maybe there's a reason why that
day has lost its fun
- Cause in the whirl of tidings you
forgot about someone
- It's time to stop and put your
rope back on the saddle horn
- take out the family Bible and read
about the button born
-
- because His message was the same
for everyone in this race
- slow your horses to a walk, smell
the coffee and set a place
- sit a spell and talk about the
gifts you haveÉ not from a box
- your family, friends and
neighborsÉ not the hole that's in your socks
