More of a rant to clear the air, not so much with you just with the general masses so fair...(not my best, but hard to do and keep up a conversation on IM as well...)

Christmas in July…


 


Barely do I even like Christmas in December,


Rarely do I even participate, when last I don’t remember,


Now they bring on the July version,


Like I don’t have enough, to the original, aversion…


 


Once every ten years would be enough for me,


Every year we have to re-celebrate, can’t you see?


How many times can the christ be reborn?


Every year is a bit much, as it is too commercial anyway, leaving some forlorn…


 


Wonderful to make depression for some twice over the same holiday,


Just another day, as far as I am concerned, that is all I have on the subject to say…

I just love Christmas! The older I get the more that I love Christmas. I wouldn't want it to come in July though, cause then it wouldn't be the same as I remember it as a child. I want it to be cold & if it happened to snowed even better.

I'm agree with Sherry. The story of the birth of Christ is well-worth the knowledge, anything else is commercial. The purpose of Christmas has somehow lost its true meaning.
