They say it’s superficial
But is joy not deep?
They say it’s not simple
And that greed won’t sleep
“Toys, the soul can’t eat!
In the manger we stay!”
But manure’s no treat…
We love the present day!
What could be better
Than children’s broad grins,
Sweethearts with sweaters,
And eggnog with friends?
The spirit needs material
Or else it can’t play
Are cookies ethereal?!
We love the present day!
Sleigh bells turn cold
Into warmth so charming
Sing carols so bold
Crucifixion’s alarming!
Let’s worship the tree
And wait for the sleigh
Who all’s with me?
We love the present day!
Santa seems just
His is the way
Sacrifice? Crust!
We love the present day!
