What is bad about Christmas?

Answer 1

Perhaps a better question would be "What is sad about Christmas?" I cannot find anything that is bad about Christmas, that is unless you wish to say that it is far to commercialized. Ask me what is sad about it then I could reply that Christ plays little part in it any more. Perhaps this poem I wrote will explain what I mean.

WHY HAS CHRIST BEEN LEFT OUT OF CHRISTMAS,

WHY IS HE LEFT OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR?

WHY HAS CHRIST BEEN LEFT OUT OF THIS SEASON

BY THE RICH, BY THE PROUD AND AT TIMES THE POOR?

IT IS NOT AS IF HE HAS HURT ANYONE,

HIS SACRIFICE PROVED THIS YOU MIGHT BRING TO MIND.

WHY HAS CHRIST BEEN LEFT OUT OF CHRISTMAS,

BECAUSE Santa Claus IS MORE LOVING AND KIND?

I SEEM TO REMEMBER EACH CHRISTMAS

WE SANG OF CHRIST, IN CHURCHES ALL OVER TOWN.

NOW HE SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN,

THE CHRIST CHILD WRAPPED IN A SWADDLING GOWN.

WHAT HAS CHRIST DONE TO DESERVE THIS,

HOW EASILY WE HAVE FORGOTTEN

THAT KINGS AND SHEPHERDS DID PRAISE HIM,

HE, SENT TO EARTH AS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN.

IT IS NOT ONLY HEATHENS THAT SHUN HIM

FOR MANY PROFESSED CHRISTIANS DO TO.

SO WHO IS TO BLAME FOR LEAVING OUT JESUS,

IN HIS BLESSED NAME, I HOPE ITS NOT YOU.

Sorry about it being in capital letters.
