I'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?
'Cept 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!
And, 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.
How could they stop and 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 would 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 step ladder.
He hung lights that would flash.
He hung lights that would twirl.
Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus ...
Light of the World.
Christ 's eyes... how 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
Let ' s put Christ back in
Christmas and enjoy
some good nights!
Merry Christmas, my friends!

A raffish version of The evening till now Christmas Twas the evening till now Christmas and all for the duration of the domicile no longer a creature replaced into stirring different than for the mouse He nibbled on the cheddar cheese till finally his starvation pangs have been set comfortable With reckless abandon he wandered around till finally the social gathering booze he finally stumbled on while under the impression of alcohol he slugged the relatives cat the feline's swat knocked him flat Then with many a plaintive squeal he grew to grow to be that cat's Christmas meal i understand that isn't what you envisioned. I wrote it extremely some years in the past. i think of that's amazingly neat. Merry Christmas and God Bless you and yours.

Be careful, in this day and age of fox news and the bush administration you will likely be tried for heresy!
Who was the famous priest who asked - 'When I feed the poor they call me a saint. WHen I ask why they have no money they call me a communist'
