"Christmas Poem" 

 

 

'T'was the month 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 so 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 Penney's!
On Hallmark! On Zales!
And a quick lunch at Denny'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 up icicle lights
with 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 burdens... He'll carry!

 

So instead of being busy,
overworked, and uptight
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
and enjoy some good nights!

 

 

From Our Home to Yours
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Dave and Barbara
