Putting Christ Back In Christmas|
Twas the Night Before Christmas And All Through the Town, Not a Sign of Baby Jesus Was Anywhere to be Found. |
|
The People were All Busy With Christmas Time Chores Like Decorating, and Baking, And Shopping in Stores. |
|
No one Sang Away in a Manger, No Crib for a Bed. Instead, They Sang of Santa Dressed-up in Bright Red. |
|
Mama Watched Martha Stewart, Papa Drank Beer from a Tap. As Hour Upon Hour The Presents They'd Wrap! |
|
When What from the T.V. Did they Suddenly Hear? Except an Ad.. Which Told Of a Big Sale at Sears. |
|
So Away to the Mall They all Flew like a Flash... Buying Things on Credit... And Others with Cash! |
|
As they Made Their Way Home From their Trip to the Mall, Did They Think About Jesus? Oh, No... Not at All. |
|
Their Lives Were so Busy! With their Christmas Time Things No Time to Remember Christ Jesus, the King. |
|
There were Presents to Wrap And Cookies to Bake. No Stopping to Remember Who Died for Their Sake? |
|
To Pray to the Savior... They had No Time to Stop. Because they Needed More Time To 'Shop til they Dropped!' |
|
On Wal-mart! On K-mart! On Target! On Penney's! On Hallmark! On Zales! A Quick Lunch at Denny's |
|
From the Big Stores Downtown To the Stores at the Mall They Dash Away, Dash Away, And Visit Them All! |
|
And Up on the Roof, There Arose Such a Clatter As Grandpa Hung Icicle Lights Up on his Brand New Ladder. |
|
He Hung Lights that Would Flash. He Hung Lights that Would Twirl. Never Once Praying to Jesus, Light of the World. |
|
Christ's Eyes... They Twinkle! Christ's Spirit... How Merry! Christ's Love... How Enormous! All our Burdens... He'll Carry! |
|
So Instead of Being Busy, Overworked, and Uptight, Put Christ Back in Christmas And Enjoy Some Good Nights! |
Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas
