CHRISTmas or X-mas? (contest)

CHRISTMAS
should be about the LOVE
'bout the Gift from Above
CHRISTMAS
should be about the JOY
for ev'ry girl and boy
CHRISTMAS
should be about sharing
should be about caring

BUT WHEN I LOOK AROUND I SEE

shoppers getting greedy
poor people, the needy
the homeless on the street
who can't find food to eat

CHRISTMAS
should be about the LOVE
'bout the Gift from Above
CHRISTMAS
should be about the JOY
for ev'ry girl and boy
CHRISTMAS
should be about sharing
should be about caring

BUT WHEN I LOOK AROUND I SEE

folks with bad attitudes
acting nasty and rude
gimme gimme buy me this
is this the reason for Christmas

CHRISTMAS
should be about the LOVE
'bout the Gift from Above
CHRISTMAS
should be about the JOY
for ev'ry girl and boy
CHRISTMAS
should be about sharing
should be about caring

We forget the meaning of the season
Why we celebrate, the real Reason

BE NOT AFRAID:  FOR I BRING YOU GOOD NEWS...FOR TO YOU
BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOR, WHO IS CHRIST THE LORD. (Luke, 2:11)


"For unto us is born this day
A Savior" JESUS IS THE WAY!

(C) Karla Dorman, 2003. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, to Mz' Karla and Mz' Karen from Rufuz & ED...
As for this poem, it is so nice, and regards the bad parts it is true, so may folks act that way around this time of year...to bad for them, they won't get anything from Santa or from Jesus this year or any year to come...Peace, and Happy Holidays, Ed & Rufuz

Even the X in X-mas becomes a cross when you look at it differently...then, the reason for Easter merges with the reason for Christmas. All roads lead to the Christ, the Son of the living God.

This poem has a true meaning. People tend to take advantage of the real of Christmas. Matthew

(((Karla)))

I absolutely LOVE this poem; it clearly shows how Christmas SHOULD be celebrated, and how it is celebrated in REALITY. So sad that Christmas has come to be so hard for many people; for them, the joy is truly gone! We need to get the Joy back into Christmas and put CHRIST back INTO Christmas! Excellent message in this sad, heartfelt write! Thanks for sharing!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears <
