This is one of my favourite poems/prayers for this time of year, it's written by Howard Thurman and has been set to music too (you can listen to it here: When the song):
When the song of the angels is stilled
when the star of the sky is gone
when the kings and the princes are home
when the shepherds are back with their flocks
the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost
to heal the broken
to feed the hungry
to release the prisoner
to rebuild the nations
to bring peace among the people
to make music in the heart.
