Christmas

The night before Christmas, at a Computer Shop.

T’was the night before Christmas, and throughout the shop
Computers were humming; they never do stop
The lights were on but it was fairly quiet
The customers gone, for it was late at night.

But systems were ready, and programs were coded.
All memory chips had been carefully loaded
And adding a Christmassy glow to the scene
The lights on the consoles flashed red, white and green.

Then quite unexpected, on an 18 inch screen
With a flicker appeared an unusual scene
A sleight and eight reindeer, yes it was one of those
And a little old man, who said: I’m Santa Claus.

The computer was startled, confused by the name
Then it buzzed as it heard it heard the old fellow explain:
“This is Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
And comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.”

With all these odd names, it was puzzled anew;
It hummed and it clanked, and the main circuit blew.
It searched in it’s memory blank, trying to “think”;
Then the multi-line printer went out on the blink.

Unable to do it’s usual job,
It said in a voice that was almost a sob:
“Your eyes – how many how they twinkle – your dimples so merry,
Your cheeks so like roses, your nose like a cherry.

You’re jolly old face and that little round belly
That shakes when you laugh like a bowl full of jelly
I surely should have been programmed to know
But my data – recall is not only slow.

Your name and your details, I just cannot find
In the depths of my memory there is no such kind
My scanners can see you, but I have to insist
You’re not in my program,… so… you cannot exist!”

Old Santa just chuckled a merry “Ho, Ho”,
Then sat down to type out a word or so.
They key board click-clattered, it’s sound sharp and clean,
As Santa wrote this for the machine:

“Kids everywhere know me; I come every year.
The presents I give bring joy and bring cheer.
But your programmers did not remember me.
So a present for you has no meaning, you see.

Then he faced the computer and said with a shrug,
“Merry Christmas to you,”… as he pulled out the plug!

Thankyou for listening to my Poem that I have originally made.
Did you enjoy it? Any tips to make it better?

Christmas Will Always Be On December 25. The supposed day that Jesus was born. And now we invented Santa that brings children presents on Christmas. And by the way, Santa is a mixed up word of Satan, the devil. How wrong is it to recieve presents on a day that we should be honoring the day Jesus was born. He died on a cross and here we are spending the day playing with our new remote controled airplane or new bike. And no we are not honoring Jesus with presents we are honoring nothing. And people then say that "The true meaning of Christmas is Jesus"-well aparently our world doesn't seem to think so even if they say that phrase. Here's my plan-instead of recieving presents on Christmas day, we should move "Present Day" to either December 1 or New Years Day (Jan 1). It seems alot more appropriate. On the 25 of December children can still have the same amount of time off from school. What is your opionion on that? Kids would still be recieving their presents, just not on Christmas.

My wife went out of her way to make sure that both of our children got not only what they needed, but what they wanted. Within a day none of that mattered! A lot of money spent for nothing! You can't buy LOVE!!!
What is your thinking about the commercialization of Christmas? I know God didn't mean for it to be this way!

Seems to me the demonstrated love of parents and friends at Xmas - once we're aware of it - is far more moving than fantasies of Santa ever were. Although, like fairies and other things Santa's a fun idea while it lasts - until we find reality is closer to home and our hearts.
