CHRISTMAS... GIVE IT BACK

CHRISTMAS… GIVE IT BACK!


So now you’re bored with Christmas,
The decorations all pulled down.
No more merrymaking
Or late night shopping,
 Staggering whilst drunk around the town.

No more hopeful dangling of mistletoe,
In pursuit of that stolen kiss.
No more carol singing
Or yawning at midnight mass,
From now you’ll give church a miss.

No more pulling crackers 
And the giving of expensive gifts,
There’s no more festive cheer.
You’re empty of the joyful spirit,
The hearty raising of a glass of beer.

I say this to you,
 You have no right no right,
To celebrate this day of days.
Because, this is a Christian festival,
The birth of Christ, as in nativity plays.

The tree is symbolic
To our everlasting life,
Did the Magi give gifts in vain?
Many don’t wait for Epiphany,
For their Christmas to begin to wane.

So, give back the true meaning,
Let’s stop this commercial drain.
Please, go and stick 
That ridiculous light covered house,
Where it will cause you most pain!!
