Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want-and their kids pay for it.

Sonnet: Adults
Adults are selfish beings of the earth;
Adults don’t forgive/ forget tho’ mature;
Adults are creatures adamant by birth;
Adults are jealous beings, by nature.
Adults have arguing tongues till the end;
Adults misunderstand others with ease;
Adults can neither condescend nor bend;
Adults cannot adjust with/others please.
Adults are sinful in thought, word and deed
Adults are the ones, misguiding the youth;
Adults are beings revengeful indeed;
Adults can speak effortlessly untruth.
Adults advise but remember old fights;
Adults cannot give up their insane rights!

Kids
Kids - kids, Christmas i-is for kids
Look around and you will see
Kids from one to ninety-three
Laughin', lovin' life and bein' kids
Kids - ki-i-i-ids, Christmas i-is for kids
Kids like you and little brother
Aunts and uncles, dads and mothers
Grandma, grandpa an' all the other kids
Daddy runs the 'lectric train
While all the children wait in vain
To take their turn
At playin' engineer
Grandpa catches grandma's cheek
And all the family sneaks a peak
And suddenly
Their wrinkles disappear
Take a look at Betty Joe
Underneath the mistletoe
Pretending that
She doesn't know it's there
And in the front yard Uncle Mike
Just fell off brother's brand new bike
There's Christmas cheer
And laughter everywhere
Kids (kids) - ki-i-i-ids (kids)
Christmas i-is for kids
Christmas time is here again
And now it's when the fun begins
This time of year we all turn into kids...

Childs Christmas
Children's Christmas
Wee loved ones so sincere,
Their happy loving Christmas
Fill wee ones all good cheer.
Christmas fun starts straight away
When Christmas tree, decorations
Show Christmas on the way,
Oh thoughts of Santa on the sleigh
Little thoughts just can not wait
To be on Christmas day.
As we adults think us back on time
To blissful happy childhood ways,
Well we know our childhood days
Filled us in our realms,
And every coming Christmas
Filled us in our dreams.
Christmas eve dreams kids to sleep
Wee heads sleep pillow Christmas glow,
Sweet dreams see Father Christmas
Come reindeer through the snow,
Christmas morning church bell chimes
Ring church bell Christmas sounds,
Little feet jump out of bed
Think Santa been his rounds,
And quickly rush to find their toys
All through Christmas day
Wee hearts just fill in joys,
Every Christmas day the same
Sure look next time and see,
Look wee darlings through their eye
To see all happy full of glee.
And this our children's Christmas
Wee blessed ones so sincere,
Happy loving Christmas
That comes us once a year.

Poor Poor Kids
Be quiet! Don't make a sound!
Speak when you're spoken to!
What awful fearful bounds
Speaking only on cue
Poor poor kids
You can't go out and play today!
It's punishment, unfitting the crime
This parental power display
For kids, like serving hard-time
Poor poor kids
Adults wield such power
They must be listened to
They can their poor kids cower
As they dim their kids world view
Power seeds have been sown
Hopefully they'll not sprout
So when kids are fully grown
Their kids will not self doubt

I like stirring things up. I'm on the side of the kids more than I am on the adults. And occasionally I find some adults that have that same mischievous streak, so I don't get in too much trouble.

Games People Play
Girl on a swing
see’s everything,
games that people
play when they
want their way.
Swinging by the
sandbox but knows
not to jump in—
Playing games
like adults is
not the same as
play for kids.
Kids play for fun,
adults play
with lies to hurt
someone.
Maybe only hurting
themselves for they
do not know what they do.
Knowing any better
they would like a fool.

Christmas without you
Baby you know its true
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
I don't care about gifts or anything new
Cause Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
its just not Christmas without you...
Christmas day is near
I still wish you were here
I've been walking around
all over this town
the darkness of theses nights
are scared away with Christmas lights
that remind me of when I was a little boy
and all I wanted was that special toy
now its about my family and its joy
with nights colder than Atlanta
We got milk and cookies for Santa
you can even hear the carolers sing
sounds perfect but missing one thing
And baby You know its true
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
I don't care about gifts or anything new
Cause Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
its just not Christmas without you...
we've got six inches of snow
and people kissing under the mistletoe
nights that feel so slow
and the days so long
everything's right but so wrong
kids in bed earlier than all year
waiting for Santa and his reindeer
Kids hoping this year they get all the right things
they run downstairs as soon as the alarm rings
the gifts are under the tree
but I still want you next to me
And baby You know its true
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
I don't care about gifts or anything new
Cause Christmas just ain't Christmas without you
its just not Christmas without you...

Sweet Christmas
vs.1 Oh, the mistletoe is hangin' down;
The beautiful tree is standin' up.
It's decorations are sparkling,
And people's drinks are in painted cups.
The snow is fallin' outside,
And the kids are in snowball fights.
The adults are building snowmen;
It really is a sight.
(chorus)
Everything's great during Christmas,
Even the news that spreads.
Everything's pretty during Christmas,
With the colors green and red.
Everyone's happy during Christmas,
Even the rude ones, it's true.
Everyone loves sweet Christmas; yes,
That's what we should do; love sweet Christmas.
vs.2 Oh, the weather is really nice,
And there's icicles hangin' from the house.
The dogs and cats are all dressed up,
And they're both going after the mouse.
The candy canes are near the tree.
Some of them are hangin' down,
But one of the most exquisite things
Is the Christmas sound.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
vs.3 Oh, the stockings are hanging from the chimney,
And they're full of candy and toys.
It looks like Santa dropped by,
For the girls, as well as the boys.
No matter what anyone else thinks,
Christmas has to be the best holiday.
It doesn't matter what people tell you,
You just go on and sing and say..
(chorus) x2
Oh, Sweet Christmas!
Yes, love sweet Christmas!
Merry Christmas!

Christmas past
Christmas past
We always had a Christmas tree
My wife would decorate it without me
So many gifts by the tree
No empty space could you see
Our little ones would crawl all around
They would try climbing the gift mound
Year after year on Christmas morning
Kids tearing open gifts and I’m yawning
The kids woke early on Christmas day
We told the kids your older so go away
With the years going by
We could sleep longer my wife and I
Now since its just me
No more do I need a Christmas tree
My kids now grown and they see
What its like to do the Christmas tree

Santa Claus
Written by john jarrad, teddy gentry, randy owen, greg fowler, linda gentry
You always come around this time of year with your big ole bag that's full of christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls all know soon they'll hear the sound of your reindeer
Now sometimes grownups grow up to believe that you don't really come on
Christmas eve
But i don't think that's true 'cause i know i see you in sparking little eyes
Around the tree
Oh santa claus, i still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh santa claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And it's time to play ole santa clause tonight
Well i don't see how anybody could ever doubt that there's really a santa
Clause.
Not if they've ever seen a little girl with her arms wrapped around her baby
Doll, so tight both of 'em waking up mama and daddy way before daylight
And grandma and grandpa are looking young and full of life, just knowin' that
Their grandkids are gonna be alright
And mama and daddy, they'll be waitin' up to answer ole santa's call.
"cause tonight they ain't worried about the bills- lord they're just lovin'
It all
Oh santa claus, i still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh santa claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And i'll be waiting up for you tonight
Ho-ho-ho

Christmas Cant Be Very Far Away
Little bits of heaven
Floating gently by the window
Soon this dirty city will be
Covered with a new snow
Lets put on our winter boots
Go outside and play
Christmas cant be very far away
Weather girl says bundle up
Its gonna be a cold one
Ill put on my wooly hat
Youll wear your dads old stetson
Pretty lights are everywhere
Shining night and day
Christmas cant be very far away
Lets take a walk downtown and
Go dream shopping in the mall
The kids can do the santa thing
Photographs and all
Well get the biggest tree this year
And trim it to the top
And spend a whole lot more
Than what weve got
But so what
Come next spring
I know we will be
Ready for the sunshine
Right now throwin snowballs
At each others such a fun time
Kids will think were crazy
For a while and thats okay
Christmas cant be very far away
Christmas cant be very far away

Santa Claus Is Coming Back To Town
(roxie dean, sonny tillis)
He was always santa claus to them
Every year hed magically appear here in our den
They would laugh and tease and say you look a lot like dad
Hed just smile and ask, have you been good or bad?
Oh, but life aint always like a holiday
Some things change, and sometimes people go their seperate ways
He just called and said hed like to be here for the kids
Wish them merry christmas when they open up their gifts
And even though it might be hard on me
How can I let them down?
So santa claus is coming back to town
Here it is christmas eve - the kids are sleeping
Lights flashing in the trees - I keep thinking
Tomorrow Ill see him, tomorrow Ill see him
I guess I ought to try to go to bed
I cant rehearse tomorrow any longer in my head
Hell walk in so nonchalant, as if hed never gone
Theyll be glad to see him, Ill be barely hanging on
And just like that hell go and turn my whole world upside down
Santa claus is coming back to town
No its never really easy when this time of year rolls around
cause santa claus is coming back to town

Unrestricted Love
Once I was in a picnic
Adults sat restricted in groups
Minding their own businesses
Every adult's love was restricted
But the children broke the barriers
Kids relates without boundary
Race, colour, creed, sentiments, histories
Were oblivious to the children
They played together unhindered
They laughed together freely
They chat without restriction
They even talked together without suspicion
Genuine love was displayed unrestricted
Pure unadultrated love reigned amongst them
Their love broke tribal jingoism
I saw pure love in practice
No one habours grudge
No one holds malice
Love was without boundary
I saw God's love in the children
Oh! how pleasant would it be
If the adults could emulate the kids
The world would be at peace
