Where is My Christmas Spirt?

Where is my Christmas Spirit?

Where is my Christmas Spirit; why does it go away? I'm told that I should keep it with me every single day. It isn't in the stockings or hanging on the tree. I know I didn't wrap it up, but where else could it be?
I know that I should have it; I hope I find it soon. For Christmas is a-comin, and I'm still out of toon. I've got to get my cards addressed; I need to bake a pie. There are so many things to do; why should I even try?
But wait, I see the baby; he's in the manger scene. With Mary, Joseph, Shepherds and kings; and a little angel that sings. Look at how sweetly he seems to sleep, in his tiny manger bed. It stirs up something in my heart, and memories in my head.
I haven't lost the spirit; I just packed it away. Thank you, Lord, for reminding me, of the Christ in Christmas day. I'll keep this baby out all year, from my sight it will not part. I haven't lost the spirit, it was right here, in my heart.
