December 12: WestJet & “Give This Christmas Away”

December 12, 2013 by Sherry Boswell

‘Twas a few days before Christmas

And all through the land

An airline came up

With a brilliant marketing plan

 

Asking passengers a simple question

Santa grinned ear to ear:

“What Christmas gift

Is top of your list this year?”

 

The passenger obliged

And they did it with glee

Doc McStuffins doll, underwear

Android tablet, a big TV

 

Then they boarded the plane

Unware of the plot

Meanwhile Santa’s elves

Scurried to their shopping spot

 

And when the passengers arrived

To the baggage claim they went

But what a surprise awaited them

All the packages that had been sent

 

Boxes gift wrapped

Addressed to each and every one

Slid down the chute

All of them were stunned

 

It was the gifts they’d wished for

Just a few hours ago

Smiles and laughter on every face

Giggles and yes even snow!

 

Naysayers can scoff

And question the motivation

But I prefer to smile

And call it a sensation

 

More than the presents

Christmas magic was given that day

Inspiring us all to give

And go out of our way

 

Give of your time and talents

Or a gift from the store

Then maybe Christmas will mean

Just a little bit more…. 🙂

 

And now for the song for today: “Give This Christmas Away” (click title to hear song) by Matthew West with Amy Grant. We are performing this at our church on Saturday, December 21 at 6pm. All my local friends (and even ones not so local), I would LOVE to see you there. Take a listen and see why it really fits!

“Give This Christmas Away”

What if I told you?
You have the power
To give someone hope
Far beyond their wildest dreams

What if I told you it’s right there in your hands?
In your hands

It’s hard to imagine
How something so small
Can make all the difference
Tear down the tallest wall

What if December looked different this year?
What if we all just

Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gift you receive
When you give this Christmas away

It’s feeding the hungry
It’s serving the poor
It’s telling the orphan
You’re not forgotten anymore

It’s doing what love does
Even when no one’s watching you

Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gift you receive
When you give this Christmas away

For God so loved the world, He gave His only son
So we could be His hands, His feet, His love
His love

What if I told you?
You have the power
To give someone hope
Far beyond their wildest dreams

What if December looked different this year?
What if we all just

Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gift you receive
When you give this Christmas away
Give this Christmas away
You have the power
Just give it away
Give it away, give it away
Give it away, give it away
(Give it away)
(Give Christmas away)
Give it away
