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
