The loud speakers blare from store to store
Until I can hardly stand anymore.
From October through December 25th,
Rudolph, Happy Holidays and the Santa myth..
Frosty and Alvin and Winter Wonderlands,
Perry Como, Bing Crosby, and well-known bands.
After Christmas when this music's all gone,
Was there more to the season than sung in these songs?
Was it jolly Old Saint Nick who appeared to Mary on her Rooftop
and told her of a Savior to be born?
Was it Rudolph with his nose so bright who guided Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem?
Was it the magic in Frosty's hat that brought forth the King of Kings from a virgin?
Were there Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire in the Bethlehem stable?
Was there a Partridge in a Pear Tree outside the door?
Was it Donder, Dasher, and Blitzen grazing on a hillside tended by Santa's elves
who were walking around in a Winter Wonderland?
Was it a Marshmallow World with contented Jews dreaming of a White Christmas and
children dreaming of getting their Two Front Teeth?
Was it Simon, Alvin, and Theodore who took a Sleigh Ride to give gifts to the Christ child?
As followers of Christ, are we supposed to be celebrating a Holly Jolly Christmas or a Holy Christmas?
Will it be a Blue Christmas without the True Focus on Christ?
Are we looking for Santa Claus Coming to Town or remembering Jesus Christ who came down to earth to save us from our sins?
It Is The Most Wonderful Time of the Year but only because "for unto us was born a Savior."
Oh Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ the LORD!!
