Christmas Becomes Xmas
No one has to shop in stores
in a way I spose that's fine
"The heck with old tradition"
let's all shop - On-Line!
No more exchanging seasons pleasantries
with other people that you meet
as you go from store to store
as you travel down the street.
They've eliminated creativity
when you just buy stuff off the shelf
it has so much more meaning
when you design it by yourself!
It used to be such fun to see
the imagination some folks had
with their clever decorations
some great, some not so bad!
What once was Christmas season
a Holy time of year
has gotten so commercial
it's more like - Xmas time - I fear!
Technology is wonderful
in it's time and place
but it has dampened Christmas spirit
which is simply a disgrace!
Now it's artificial Christmas trees
plastic wreaths and such
sure it makes decorating easy
but it don't feel like Christmas much!
