Show CHRISTMAS II GIVl By AUNT AGGIE Oklahoma A. and M. College SOMETIMES I wonder about Christmas, as folks observe it now The give an' take o' presents, like swappin', it seems, somehow An' I can't help doubtin', a little, though it ain't fer me to say, If He whose birth it remembers approves o' the modern way. Of course it't nice an' pretty, all holly an' mistletoe. With bundles tied in tibboru an' greetings flyin' so; But what sets me a-thinkin', In a sort o' doLvtful fear. Is whether exchangin' presents is more'n i selfish cheer. There wa'n't no thought o' barter, or gifts with strings to them, Vi'hcn Christ was sent to us, back there in Bethlehem. ' " v The comfort still's in follerin' the example from above: The spirit o' that first Christmas was pure an' simple love. |
