Whose Birthday Is it Anyway

Is it little Rudolph's
The red nose reindeer
That glows in the foggy nights?
~*~
Is it that grandma's
That got ran over by a reindeer
While crossing the street
On Christmas night?
~*~
Or is it that little funny looking
Fat man's
That wears a bright red suit
and is often heard saying
HO!, Ho, Ho!?
~*~
What garbage are they brain washing
Our children with
How did we ever lose
The holiest believe ever?
~*~
About the one whose birtday
We'll soon be celebrating
I can still hear in my mind
"Echoes Of Silent Night
And Holy Night."
~*~
I still See and praise
That Child That was born
Over 2000 years ago.
~*~
Whatever happened to those
Lovely songs
About sheperds, kings and angels
A hard working carpenter
A beautiful Virgin
And the Child Sleeping peacefully
In a manger.
~*~
Songs we all knew
About when
Our Christ was born.
~*~
On that Silent Night, That Holy Night
When all was calmed and clear
Around the young Virgin Mother
"And Child"
Happy Birthday Jesus.

You shall not hear me say
Happy Holiday, Nor
Season's Greetings
To All Men And Women Of good will
I wish you a "Merry Christmas"

...and if people like us keep singing and listening to the songs about the birth of our Christ, and saying Merry Christmas, and telling our children and grandchildren about the meaning of Christmas - it will live on, William. Excellent.

William , The points you make are good.Christmas has become too comericalized . I personally feel we can keep the spirit of Christmas alive by living and reciting the story of the birth of our savior. The hope and dreams of Santas visit are important too,, but lets keep Jesus Christ in Christmas..........M

I won't/don't buy anything that states Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings. What? It's the 4th of July?? (that's what I reply to store clerks...duh!)
It's MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Whoa...I love the points you bring out in this, William! I don't turn on the radio, either, but DO play my select CDs that remember Christmas, Christ Child, Holy Night, O' Come All Ye Faithful, etc (your list).

Enjoy your family; be safe; and

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

How right you are to remember whoose birthday it is. And to greet people with happy Christmas. I hate receiving happy holidays. I do have any holiday now anyway, since I'm retired it's a holiday every day. Victor
