Who is Christ what do people say
Even if this was not His birthday
Can't we celebrate Him anyway
God isn't interested in the day,
God cares about what's in the heart
So if we believe, that's where to start
Santa, trees,gifts, and all the rest
Is nothing but tradition at its best
Cultural mistakes are hard to change
Our love for Him should not be estranged
So if materialiam has usurped this day
Let's not make our Saviour pay
Happy Birthday Christ whenever it was!
A Blessed Merry Christmas to all
And a Happy New Year!

... bang on the money, Eileen, and this gets my vote any day! Christmas is a lifestyle and not an event. Bless you - and may the life and spirit of Christmas be yours each and every day of the coming year. Wishing you much joy, but above all, health and healing. And thank you for your support and inspiration this year just going... going... gone! :)) Kate xx
Thank you buckets full Eileen. Christ is the reason we all live and He is a compassionate God. He forgives for everything there is and those whom have given up can always turn to Him. I celebrate Christ everyday. He helped you with this beautiful poem too.
Love and blessings,

There is so much beauty in giving- and so many reminders of family that made Christmas a childhood dream.

Couldn't agree more, Eileen. I have come to hate Christmas. Santa has taken center stage and has made it gaudy.
Your right about the date. It was probably in the spring. But we honor JESUS on 12-25 and that is good enough. I appreciate this writing Lady Eileen. As always it was flawless.
