Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house,
Our spirits were lifted, our steps had a bounce.
Not the usual Christmas, our gathering small,
But the joy in our glad hearts could fill up a mall.
As we packed decorations, we had a bright thought,
We’d keep the Christ of Christmas, not just things newly-bought.
We’ll ring in the new year, grateful indeed,
To serve the dear Savior in both words and in deed.
Because Christmas is more than a date on a page,
It’s more than a Santa or plays on a stage.
Christmas reminds us of the birth of our Savior,
His sacrifice treasured more than gifts in a manger.
Throughout this new year, we’ll live with His love,
And worship Jesus, God’s plan from above.
The simple message of John 3:16 still rings clear and true. God’s abundant love compelled Him to give His one and only son so that when we believe we’ll have life everlasting!

This is so good that I have to add my favorite Week After Christmas quote from Luke, when old Simeon sees the baby.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word:
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 a light to lighten the Gentiles,
and the glory of thy people Israel.
(True Christmas scriptures must be in KJV.)
