An Inconvenient Truth About Christmas

An Inconvenient Truth About Christmas By Elton Camp It’s a season of excess, lies, drinking and greed Many celebrators spend far more than they need That Christmas honors Jesus simply is not true It is falsehoods about Santa that people spew Besides, Jesus Christ is now a heavenly king At best, an image of a tiny babe it does bring Christmas is a holiday that’s pagan to its core Growing numbers refuse to do it anymore Gifts should be given freely when you want to Not when greedy custom demands that you do Drunken Christmas parties can bring much grief Observing it no more will bring one great relief A major problem that creates anxiety and fear Folks run up debt that they must pay on all year So your pocket won’t be empty come Xmas eve Give this commercial holiday a big, strong heave
