TRUE CHRISTMAS

Author: godsprincess

Is a true Christmas really about Santa and Toys
Or is it about Angels singing with great Joy
Elves dressed up in bright clothes and tights
Three Wisemen following the Bethlehem starlight

Shopping elbow to elbow with strangers
Our Lord and Savior Jesus born in a manger
All about flying reindeer and sleighs
Or the promise of our sins being taken away

Lights, partying and food galore
Celebrating the coming of our Lord
A man dressed in red that’s a myth
God giving the World his greatest gift

Receiving a bunch of gifts and having fun
Thanking God for giving his only begotten Son
Is Christmas totally and completely material
Or about being forgiven and receiving Life Eternal

About this poem:

Christmas has changed to commercialism along with changing Merry (Christ)mas to Happy Holidays. Mankind needs to return to what Christmas is really about.

It is indeed sad to progressively witness the corruption of a holiday that originally had such a pure origin. Each year becomes more pathetic as you have artistically demonstrated in this well-meaning poem. I wish you and all others a very Merry Christmas. .....

Travis - yes - it is sad that Christmas is the only time that loved ones come to visit. Life is short and they may not always be there to visit next Christmas.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reminding us what Christmas really is. Last night at church we all lighted a small candle while they sang "Silent Night". It was a beautiful moment.
May you have a very happy Merry Christmas. angel2

Hi South Miami (sorry I don't know your name) - Merry Christmas to you too. At my church at the end of Candlelight Service we form a circle around the church with our individual candles. Our Pastor lights a large white candle from the Christ candle on the Advent Wreath and lights the little candles of the people on both sides of her and they share the light to the next person and so on until all candles are lit. We are singing Silent Night as we are doing this and hold our candles up high the last verse.
