An Inconvenient Truth About Christmas

Growing numbers are opting out of this commercial nightmare.

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
