THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
Have you seen
The bumper sticker
Or heard the saying
JESUS is the reason
For the season
HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET
As I
Write my Christmas cards
To family and friends
I try to remember
THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
Before I left Pittsburgh
You couldn’t say
The word “CHRISTMAS” on tv
“Happy Sparkle Season”
Hardly has the same effect---at least for me
HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET
A miniature crèche
Identical to the one in Rome
Had to be moved
From the government courthouse
To outside a corporation
HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET
Haven’t you heard
JESUS is the reason
For the season
WITHOUT JESUS
You would be getting
Not one single gift this year
Putting up my decorations
And my Christmas tree
Trying to remember---trying NOT to forget
Jesus is the reason
For this kindness and goodwill
He is THE REASON
For this season
Trying to remember
The LOVE, the FORGIVENESS, and KINDNESS
That he brought to us---in this world
Trying to remember---his name---the name of JESUS CHRIST
Trying to let him know
That it ALL
Wasn’t for not
That it ALL---wasn’t in vain
Let us put the letter “C”
Back into Christmas
Let us put the name Christ
Back into Christmas
It is NOT so hard to remember
It really isn’t---all we have to do
Is take one long look up at the CROSS
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE---I LOVE YOU

Ps And HAPPY
HANUKKAH to ALL my JEWISH FRIENDS
Also today is the feast of the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION---
MARY said yes to God and the angel---JESUS said yes to his
Father
What about me
What about you
What if we ALL said yes to God
