Merry "X" Mas

We have heard it declared--it shall be a rule,
There shall be at no time, in the public school,
When observing the twenty-fifth of December,
A religious thought of a Christ remembered.
No Virgin Mary, no newborn stranger,
No heavenly host, no Bethlehem manger.
No shepherds watching their flocks by night,
No star appearing with its heavenly light.
No “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,”
No wise men with their gifts to bring.
No “Joy to the World” or “Silent Night,”
The government says it’s just not right.
No “O Little Town of Bethlehem” they’ll hear,
Scratch, “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,”
Positively no “Angels from the Realms of Glory,”
And summon the guards! NO Christmas story.
And so it goes with the children of earth,
Outlawing Christ’s name on the day of His birth.
No Christ in Christmas? It surely must be
The nuts aren’t all in boxes under a Christmas tree.
At the risk of being psychologicaly put upon
As some variety of hickory, cashew or pecan,
May we simply come right out and say a word
Of praise this season for our Savior and Lord.
