Happy Birthday Dear Jesus
well it’s xmas time sweet jesus what an advertisement you are seems like every mothers daughter is out driving in her car
and the streets are strewn with holly and the stores all hired their jolly santa claus plainclothesman to help them push the stuff
and all in your name jesus we buy in vain sweet jesus i wonder if it pleases you to see this going on
it’s your spirit that they’ve used again i think you been abused again from one cross to another lord when will it ever end
cause it’s xmas time again sweet lord i wonder if you’re getting bored or do you sit dejectedly revising plagues revengefully to visit unexpectedly upon our lowly sins
o the irony is great my prince like shakespeare you’ve been better since you died and left a lifetimes work for us to misconstrue
your’e birthday is our birthday lord your tree in every home because you lived is why we give but when you died, you died alone..
Is it wrong that my wife and I spent over $8,200.00 on Christmas presents just for our kids?
not at all. my point is simply that xmas as is celebrated here is all about buying and there's nothing spiritual about it. it's an american marketing scheme. just sayin-
Jesus has nothing to do with Christmas. If you have a problem with Christmas, don't buy anything. I personally could give a shit less about holidays anymore.
