Green Christmas
Copyright 2000 by Jon Gill

Getting ready for a Green Christmas
Oh, what a merchandized season is this!
Money for wrapping and mistletoe
Money for presents tied up with a bow

To give is better than to receive
To give to yourself is but to deceive
Buried in boxes you open in haste
Tomorrow the garbage man will take your waste

But have you ever wrapped yourself?
Can you buy a person off of a shelf?
Would you give your son to a man full of anger?
Do you think of this when you see a manger?
