Presents wrapped and food aplenty
Christmas festivities can be rather lengthy
Cards exchanged and carolers singing
tired shoppers and tills aringing
Drinks flowing as though from a river
With lots of kisses for the present giver
Overeaten and filled to the brim
drunks wish you "Merry Xmas" with a grin
It is the season when all are supposed to be jolly
yet discord is sown amongst families and friends
The madness of the season seems never to end
Wishing "Glad Tidings" to each other
and a time to remember,brothers,sisters,fathers and mothers
Joy to the world we lustily sing
But; aren't we forgetting the most important thing?
What Christmas means and all it should bring
Peace, joy and happiness to all mankind
Our Saviour was born upon this day
Celebrate it,yes we must
Just remember to keep CHRIST in "CHRIST"-mas

Well said

amen!!! people easily forget the meaning of christmas, sooooo aggravating.

I agree! Well done.

Ladies, I thank you for reading. Yes, it is rather sad the conversation I overheard between a mother and her son ( he seemed around 5yrs old) She asked him why did we celebrate Christmas and without hesitation, he said "So we can get presents" turned to then when I got home

yeah, i had to correct my 6 yr old this week about that. i'm taking my kids to this thing our church puts on called journey to bethleham. it's really cool.

Sweetie, how lovely, so all is not lost then ? The school on my street is staging a Christmas play, but is hasn't got a Christmas theme, it's about Cinderella moving to a high rise flat and wearing bling

bonny

my kids schools are having Holiday pageants, cuz there are quite a few kids in their schools who are of a different faith, so they cannot do anything christmas.

Sweetie, I am so pleased to hear that you are teaching your children to live the Christian way. I also do not want to upset anyone but I do get cross when in a Christian majority society the Christians are not allowed to celebrate but the schools think nothing of rubbing a red dot on my son's forehead and sending him home! Although my mother's father was Indian and Hindu by religion, I have raised my children as Christians




Peachie, my sis ! I miss you

Please be at home when I phone you next, sniff,sniff

i will.....best to call at night sista and then i will be

i was asked by a neighbor to remove the cross from my door because it was insulting to them, i was like, hey, freedom of religion, get over it.

Beautiful sweetie,let's all remember the true meaning

Good Morning Ladies...
Bonny Miss, Sweetie Pie and Peachie Girl
PKh, Mystique and Stylish Dot

so good to wake up and read this lovely message online
and to hear the hearts of those who also love Jesus
and who remember to keep Christ in Christmas

"i was asked by a neighbor to remove the cross from my door because it was insulting to them, i was like, hey, freedom of religion, get over it."



A British Airways stewardess lost her job because of a little cross she wore on a necklace ( which was hidden most of the time)So I take it that Christians DO NOT fly BA ?

that is just terrible, Bonny Miss
for someone to lose their job over that

i love you vanessa

I love you too Amber

Awwwh - I love you guys.!

I just don't get these kind of people. Have they nothing better to do? If they don't believe in it, how could it be offensive??? Do we complain when Muslims or others express their faith? Think about it.

Part of the problem is Christians generally do not speak out about these sorts of things the way others do. Be aware that there are people trying to change the way Americans live and have lived since the beginning. Make them accountable for their actions publicly, as there seems to be a lack of accountability lately, especially from our politicians.

Sorry about the rant.
