T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS NOT A SIGN OF BABY JESUS
Author: Pete

T'was the night before Christmas
and all through the town
Not a sign of Baby Jesus
was anywhere to be found.

The people were all busy
with Christmas time chores
Like decorating, and baking,
and shopping in stores.

No one sang "Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed".
Instead, they sang of Santa
dressed-up in bright red.

Mama watched Martha Stewart,
Papa drank beer from a tap.
As hour upon hour
the presents they'd wrap

When what from the TV
did they suddenly hear?
'Cept an ad.. which told
of a big sale at Sears.

So away to the mall
they all flew like a flash
Buying things on credit
and others with cash!

And, as they made their way home
From their trip to the mall,
Did they think about Jesus?
Oh, no... not at all.

Their lives were so busy
with their Christmas time things
No time to remember
Christ Jesus, the King.

There were presents to wrap
and cookies to bake.
How could they stop and remember
who died for their sake?

To pray to the Savior
they had no time to stop.
Because they needed more time
to "Shop til they dropped!"

On Wal-mart! On K-mart!
On Target! On Penney's!
On Hallmark! On Zales!
A quick lunch at Denny's

From the big stores downtown
to the stores at the mall
They would dash away, dash away,
and visit them all!

And up on the roof,
there arose such a clatter
As grandpa hung icicle lights
up on his brand new step ladder.

He hung lights that would flash.
He hung lights that would twirl.
Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus...
Light of the World.

Christ's eyes... how they twinkle!
Christ's Spirit... how merry!
Christ's love... how enormous!
All our burdens... He'll carry!

So instead of being busy,
overworked, and uptight
Let's put Christ back in
Christmas and enjoy
some good nights!

Merry Christmas, my friends!

THANKSGIVING FAMILY
Author: Ron

Thanksgiving again this year we are
Together both near and far

I'm Thankful for family's health
Even if it's not great wealth


Again this years table will be full of food
No matter who is in what mood

Love in our family will always be deep
Even if it makes some of us weep

Again we will gather this Thanksgiving at the table
And thank God after eating that there's cable


To my Family both near and far
Thank You for being who you are

Happy Thanksgiving

HALLOWEEN
Author: Ron

Ghosts and Goblins into the night
Under our masks we give such fright

Our nights journey we gather lots of candy
Our Halloween night turned out just dandy

Black cats and witche's hats
Boy do we jump when we see fake rats

Happy Halloween
