ah, the songs of merryment, and joy. The children sleep on chirstmas eve with expectations of a jolly elderly man coming down the chimney, and giving them gifts!
the joy of recieving those gifts, and opening a beautifully wraped present, is what we see on the childs face.
Singing songs that bring cheer to everyone, spending time with family, laughing, playing games, eating together, bringing back the life from the day to day mundane existence. What a feeling!!
in all this...when do i make a reference to any religion? these songs and ideas are now merely a symbol of happiness.
for example:
**
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out
who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!

Its got a nice beat to it, its catchy, and its telling kids something nice. why put a label of religion on it? I'm not chirstian, so what? i like the idea of a grey haired old man, who makes children happy!
Santa is so much of a "global figure"(considering his size and where he lives! :P), and hey, he seems like a fun guy.
look at him, he looks like he loves kids, and that kids would love him instantly. Children deserve all the fun they can get. Childhood never comes twice, and they should spend it laughing, dancing playing, (yea...lets be honest...learning too). Happy childhood, ensures they will live happy lives.
Its all about a fantasy, and kids love fantasies..fairy god mothers, large giants, small friendly birds, and now the newer flying brooms, wizardry.
So what if this one fella has something to do with a saint. (saint nicolas)
So its decided santa is fun...and kids should be told about him, and allowed to bask in this big bellied tank of happiness. heres hoping that all kids can enjoy the spirit of christmas, and partake in the cheer and happiness santa brings.
Sing carols, spend time with your family, eat good food, and be happy....coz "Santa Claus is coming to town....."
Heres a song thats nice to hear, if u get a chance to hear it...do so, its by Jim Reeves:
The Merry chirstmas polka
This is Christmas season so there isn't any reason we can't dance the Christmas polka
Hear sleighbells ringing everybody's singing dancing the Christmas polka
Christmas trees and holly make everyone so jolly and love just fills the air
It's a wonderful world for a boy and a girl while dancing the Christmas polka
The merry Christmas polka let's dance let's dance let's dance
Everyone's so happy the air is filled with romance
Watch the sweethearts kissing as they dance neath the mistletoe
It's a sight to behold for the young and the old the merry Christmas polka
This is Christmas season...
MERRY CHIRSTMAS TO ALL, and TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
