As you sit there sipping your cocoa so hot,

Do you realize the symbols in your hot choc-o-lot?

It's symbols of Christ's birth which we revere

Now sit right back, as I explain ~ to make it clear.

The chocolate represents Jesus' sweetness supreme

As kindness was his forever theme.

Its warmth is like His encircling love

That comes directly from above.

Many small, but one large star

Were also seen from afar

So are the marshmallows so clean and white

Which reminds us of His purity bright.

The candy cane looks like the Shepherd's crook

Those great men who came to take a look

At the newborn babe so sweet and gentle

Whose life would be so fundamental.

The 3 kisses remind us of the 3 wise kings

Who traveled as they heard the angels sing.

And when they arrived they saw a beautiful sight,

Mary kissing her son on that wonderful night.

Now may we remember these wonderful things

As we enjoy what this glorious season brings.

May you feel His warmth each and every day

As you wish others a Merry Christmas as you go along your way!
