Christmas Poem (Something we Should all Keep in MInd)


Twas the month before Christmas and all through the town
Not a sign of Baby Jesus was anywhere to be found.
The people were all busy with Christmas time chores
Like decorating and baking, and shopping in stores.
No one Sang "Away in the Manger, No crib for a bed".
Instead, they sang Santa dressed up in bright red.
Mama watched Martha Stewart, Papa drank beer from a tap.
As hour upon hour the presents they'd wrap.


When from the TV, did they suddenly hear?
'Crept an ad... Which told of a big sale at Sears.
So away to the mall they all flew like a flash...
Buying things on credit... and others with cash!
And, as they made their way home from their trip to the mall.
Did they think about Jesus? Oh, no...Not at all.
Their lives were so busy with their Christmas things
No time to rememberChrist Jesus, the King.
There were presents to wrap and cookies to bake.
How could they stop and remember who died for their sake?







To Pray to the Savior...they had no time to stop.
Because they needed more time to "Shop til they dropped!"
On Wal-mart! On K-mart! On target! On Penny's!
On Hallmark! On Zales! And a lunch at denny's
From the big stores downtown to the stores in the mall
They would dash away, dash away, and visit them all!
And up on the roof, there arose such a clatter
As grandpa hung icicle lights with his brand new step ladder.
He hung lights that would flash. He hung lights that would twirl.
Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus... Light of the World.
Christ's eyes...How they twinkle! Christ's Spirit. How merry!
Christ's Love...How enormous! All our burdens... He'll carry!
So instead o being busy, overworked, and uptight
Let's put Christ back in Christmas and enjoy same good nights!

Merry christmas from Southern Mom of 4






I hope this finds each of you in warm and safe Spirits.  Here at Southern Mom of 4, I just want to wish each and every reader a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  In this time I will be taking time off to spend with my Family and Friends and preparing some really great things for the New Year.



In the past 2 weeks I have had a sick baby with the FLU and it seems it just made things much harder for me to stay up to date here, so I want to apologize to Y'all and let each of know why I haven't been here as much.

Hoping everyone gets what they ask for, for Christmas and you have a safe and wonderful Holiday!
