Don’t blame God for Christmas,
he only sent his son.
He didn’t make the toys that break,
the grab and grab
or take and take.
God does not cause the High Street wars;
the constant cries
for more and more.
He does not send the spend, spend, spend;
the shopping that
just never ends.
God does not will the ringing till;
the drunks that drive
or mounting bills.
Christ came to put an end to greed,
to selfishness and human need.
He came to earth by humble birth,
the light for everyone.
So don’t blame God for Christmas
he only sent his son.

I love this. May I share it?
Sure thing Chris – would be delighted if you did. Have enjoyed your reflections on Christmas and wish I’d seen them sooner so as to join the conversation. Keep blogging in the New Year. Peter
