A Holiday Paradigm Revisited
A weary, exasperated man stumbles unexpectedly upon the Object of the holiday in his garage late one night. A touching story with familiar cadence and gripping illustrations.
That famous poem on the Night Before,
So much a part of our Christmas lore,
Has entrenched itself as a holiday tradition
With nary a nod to the Christian rendition.
But author Jim Chapman takes a whole different tack,
With his holiday insights and poem-writing knack.
The story he tells has an interesting twist
That brings us back to the meaning we’ve missed.
In all of the clutter, as we merrily flutter,
From one Christmas thing to another…
The promised Baby, left alone in the hay,
Cries softly for someone to acknowledge his day.
