Christmas Gifts

I have an idea for a christmas gift
Do what we do, it may give you a lift
I have never celebrated Christmas in all of my life
People will respect you, they will give you no strife
Explain the the giving of Christmas gifts
Is not for the birth of Christ thats merely a myth
Jesus we know was thirty three and a half when he died
That means he can't have been born in December if he tried
We know he died at Easter time,it is recorded and celebrated for all of time
Knock 33 and 1/2 from march or April depending
You'll find Jesus was born in October- no pretending
His birth was not recoreded it was his death that was the important date
So forget Christmas presents and give love as a gift before it  is to late.

I've asked to be given no gifts this year. I love the people in my life and that is plenty for me. Merry Christmas Mandy.
