Christmas what, where. hear

Walk to the edge and watch the snow all over the place. Wait this ain't reality.
A picture on the wall or on television. Many never really see what snow is. It is either man made not by the heavens. Wrapped up boxes called gifts and retail rings and commercial sing of sales all around.

The fat man they call in a red suit sitting in a mall with a gut looking like dads in front of a football game. Kids telling him what they want and there name. His eyes roll up and when its done no more then a candy cane for a daughter or son. And a picture of digital quality that cost more then the box of candy canes being given out. Not to mention the cost of the frame?!

Jolly and holly and mistletoe getting the lights on the house or the ultimate design in the yard, yet to out do the others down the street. Blown up displays and cardboard portrays overwhelming the simple look of ones house. A wreath on a door or on the overpriced Cadillac escalated. And clothing displaying Noel or happy holidays with designer label sewed on the back.

Hark hark did we forget what its all about yes not doubt? A Young man called Jesus, a star and animals all around. His birth called to change a world of misfit and mayhem.
To remind all that we were created to share in brother and sisterhood. That no one is better then another. The meek and the wealth me at the crossroads and intertwine into one where no one takes lead.

A man name Nick who a story tells gave gifts to children to only see joy and cheer. That some call a saint. Others call the great man of Gods reign who goes and travels though Christmas eve blessing people with joy and peace. Giving many love and hope in a uncertain world. The blessing comes from the soul of each man and woman.

Give yourself a second to believe again reach into your inner child while still standing on a adult foot prints. Reminded of what the reason for this time in Decembers. A giving of thanks that November had started in faith,  rhyme song. A remembrance of where we come from and where we should be, know that giving is every day not just one time of the year.

So next time you hear the songs of Christmas cheer let it remind you not of retail and sales or holiday logger and beer. Not who's yard is better or who got the better gift. Not of Sitting on a strange mans lap making wishes to him that he wont make come true. Choirs and singers singing of cheer and love and grace not s feed the world songs that do nothing more then remind us that in our own towns and cities of the poor and forgotten. We need to give them the Christmas cheer

Look in the mirror and start today. Give to yourself and then your family and to your friends. The joy of giving the treat of a hand, a hug or a kiss. Giving of your time to those unfortunate when you yourself have not much. Believing in your our selves and others and share time and conversation not material things. Let ther spirit flow among us all. And Thank every day Jesus was born to to forgive our foolish sins and give life to our spirit.

If you believe say Amen......
