A Car for Christmas
By Bill H.
They come around this time of year,
Those ads that make you whine,
And dream, wish, or shed a tear
For bows and things that shine.
These ads we see each Christmastime,
They bring such joy and cheer,
with ideas that seem sublime
To get a car this year.
So if this year beneath the tree you find
a Ford, Lexus, or Koengisegg,
Kiss your loved one and then enquire
Where do you get a bow that big?
Seriously, who gets a new car for Christmas and why are they not related to me. The advertisers that write this stuff, what us to believe that receiving large, extravagant gifts is "normal" practice at Christmas. But, please, keep in mind that the true meaning of Christmas is giving, not receiving. And, while I would love to get a car for Christmas, that is really not what the holiday is about. We were all given the most priceless gift of all in Jesus, the true meaning of Christmas.
On a lighter note, Audrey's class went to the Cincinnati Museum Center today to see the Holiday Train Display. When she came home she was going around saying, "Trains go, 'Toot', 'Toot'!" Very cute, cute!
Peace.
Bill
