Christmas in Nigeria

There are no glittering trees
To remind us of the season,
Nor gaily packages wrapped
To remind us of the reason.

There is no soft falling snow
To remind us what God has done
There's only what's within hearts
To remind us He sent His Son.

A kÚ odún Kérésìmesì
(Merry Christmas in Yoruba)
