Although written six tears ago, not many people have seen this. Re-discovered it just now, buried in a sub-folder.

Sometimes in the "hustle-bustle" and chaos of this thing we call the "holidays" we allow the commercialism to over-power the TRUE SPIRIT of the Yuletide Season -

WITHOUT CHRIST there can be NO CHRISTMAS !!!

Every time, in EVERY Maternity ward, in EVERY place throughout the entire world,
EXPECTANT people are EXPECTING a NEW BIRTH - as you wait and pray - try to visualize THAT MANGER at THAT FIRST CHRISTMAS -

WONDER OF WONDERS! JOY OF JOYS!
A BABE IS BORN! EACH and EVERY ONE is a reminder of the MIRACLE of LIFE !!!


Christ=s Mass


 

Oh, let us Celebrate Christ, The Child,
Born in a Manger, meek and mild,
Wonder of Wonders, Joseph
=s Joy,
Mary
=s Babe, a Heaven-Sent Boy.




Lo, as Angelic Choirs sang, AGloria,.
Shepherds watched in Euphoria.
The Magi knelt in Adoration,
under the Star of David
=s Jubilation.




Lo, the Little Lowly Drummer Boy
humbly played his
Arat-tat-tat.,
as all God
=s Wondrous Creatures,
side-by-side, silently sat.




Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem,
how could you know you would be,
the Birth-Place of Jesus, Emmanuel,
Future Carpenter of Galilee.




Oh, Jerusalem, God=s most Holy City,
how could you ever Foresee,
Golgotha
=s Holy Innocent, our Lord,
our Martyr, Nailed to the Tree.




Oh, Glorious Christ-Child,
Babe most Highly Adored,
to Whom God
=s Love,
was so Deeply Out-poured.




Oh, Savior, our Life, our Light,
on this Blessed, Happy Morn,
Happy Birthday, Sweet Jesus,
our Promise of Eternity -
 Forever Re-Born!

Yeah. Well now you know it wasn't a manger. The manger story came from Francis of Assisi, to promote a poor Christ (which isn't true either). The whole Bethlehem story is cooked.

Neat poem though.

Smooch...
