His Name IS Jesus Christmas cards delivered Postage stamp a Nativity scene Sent with the true meaning of the love Behind this manger scene The USPS yet to my dismay Postmarked the stamp Happy Who-liday Happy Wholiday! What I declared! What can this mean? Is this sarcasm I wonder out loud Because of the uncertainly of a presidential outcome No, this was unforseen This postmark had been planned For many months passed So I sat down at my computer And logged onto the Internet And typed in Who-liday To see what I could find Only to discover that the USPS In a small way Was in partnership with Universal Studios The Grinch That Stole Christmas Was the name of the movie That obviously was being promoted A movie I had heard that Didn't get good reviews And now one of it's lines Was being sent everywhere Much to my chagrin A Holy Day Turned holiday A day meant to honor and give thanks To the Father for giving to us His only Son To be the atonement for our sins I felt a tear fall from the Father's face Another one fall from Mary's too Angel's hung their head in sorrow Just because Their announcement was so important They thought no one would err forget That "Jesus is His Name" He is the reason for the season He is why we celebrate There should be no wondering why or who or what Christmas is all about Without Jesus... Christmas is anything but Christmas. May you have a Blessed Christmas Postmarked PEACE Don't let the Grinch Steal your Christmas! |

Jesus is the original reason for christmas and it's good to be reminded.....all this santa stuff can distract the true meaning of it all. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Sure enough I went to the Post Office and there it was a Christmas Who-liday. How dare they make this into a Disney holiday. It is and will always be a Holy Day! |

SongBird~ Thank you for addressing this. I have also written of my displeasure at the Happy "Who-liday" cancellation stamp to the USPS. Well done, poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Songbird, Thank you for your research. Yes, I agree that without Jesus, Christmas would not be Christmas. On another note: Please encourage everyone you know to take the time to spell CHRISTMAS. Too many people want to hurry too much and shorten this wonderful time of year to XMAS. Without CHRIST, Christmas would not be CHRISTmas. Melton |

Yes, Christ is the reason for the season and without Jesus there would be as they say noel. We should never be in such a hurry and scurry that we leave Christ out of Christmas. I wish you all a blessed Christmas even without the benifit of material things we can share the love of Jesus and that is what is most important. God bless you all! |
