Twas the night before christmas and all through the town Not a sign of Baby Jesus was anywhere to be found. The people were all busy with Christmas time chores Like decorating ,and baking,and shopping in stores.
No ONe sang "Away In a Manger, no crib for a bed". Instead they sang of Santa dressed -up in bright red.
Mama watched Martha Stewart,Papa drank beer from a tap. As hour upon hour the presents they'd wrap.
When what from the T-V did they suddenly hear? Cept an ad., which told of a big sale at Sears.
So away to the mall they all flew like a flash...Buying things on credit ...and others with cash!
And as they made their way home From their trip to the mall, Did they think about Jesus Oh, no ...not at all.
Their lives were to busy with their Christmas time things-No time to remember Christ Jesus, the King.
There were presents to wrap and cookies to bake. How could they stop and remember who died for their sake?
To pray to the Savior ...they had no time to stop-because they needed more time to "Shop til they dropped!"
On Wal-mart! on K-mart! On Target! On Penny's! On Hallmark! On Zales! a quick lunch at Penny's
From the big stores downtown to the stores at the mall they would dash away,dash away and visit them all! And up on the roof, there arose such a clatter As grandpa hung icicle lights up on his brand new step ladder
He hung lights that would flash. He hung lights that would twirl. Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus...Light of the World
Christ's eyes..how they twinkle! Christ's Spirit..how merry! Christ's Love..how enormous! All our burden's....He'll carry!
So Instead of being busy, overworked,and uptight Let's put Christ back in Christmas and enjoy some good nights!
Merry christmas My friends-Love and Peace In Jesus =o)
