Don't take the "Christ" out of "Christmas"

In light of the Christmas season, I wish to impart a most crucial message* to those who tend to be tempted to abbreviate due to the haste of the holiday...

In other words, here is a silly little song with a serious message that I wrote up:

Don't take the "Christ" out of Christmas
He is the Reason for the Season
And if that's what Christmas is coming to,
The whole season's going down the drain

Don't find another way to say it:
"Happy Holidays," "Season's Greetings," "Merry Xmas"
Spell it right, write it boldly, say it pleasantly
"Merry CHRISTmas, from Jesus, from me."

If you think you can get away with saying,
"I've bought presents. I'm done! That's a cinch!"
While you sit there waiting for Santa Claus,
You're no better off than the Grinch!

SO.......(please)

Don't take the "Christ" out of "Christmas!"
That is my sole, my only plea.
If it isn't Christmas for Jesus, then
It isn't Christmas for me!

*Now, I both realize and recognize that the letter "x" in "Xmas" is actually greek and stands for the first part of Christ's name. However, I do believe that, for the most part, WE DON'T SPEAK GREEK MOST OF THE TIME, DO WE, NOW?!

Thank you for reading...

  1. I don't think that saying Christmas instead of Happy Holidays will make it much more about Jesus. Because it really is a heart issue I think... will it? I don't know. What are your thoughts on this?
