A Christmas Question

A Christmas Question
Not being religious,
There's a question I have
that has puzzled me since I was ten
My parents divorced when I was quite young
And I guess I thought of this then

Christmas is the story
Of the birth of our lord
Yours, mine, I'm really not sure
But I often thought hard
And it bothers me still
What is Jesus' tie to a store?

Retail it seems
Makes Christmas seem right
As long as you get what you want
But I don't understand
The connection between
"made in china" and three ghosts who haunt

But back to my question
It's one I must ask
Since my parents got divorced in a court
If Jesus' father is truly our God
Did he ever get sued for support?

G'day Roger … you won't get any answers to your questions on a Sunday morning in church mate. Could cut the funds put in the plate, but on the other hand, faith can rule above anything that can be seen as real - thanks Roger - Lindsay
