“Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the 

naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, 

love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done 

unto you.” 

― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Scripture

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little 

ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly 

not lose their reward. Matthew 10:42

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark

When I seen a man chilling with his dog in the park

I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear

Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer

But then I was illin' because the man had a beard

And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared

So I turned my head a second and the man had gone

But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on the lawn

I picket the wallet up then I took a pause

Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"

A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's

Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease

But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain't right

So I'm going home to mail it back to him that night

But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree

Was a letter from Santa and all the dough was for me

[D.M.C.]

It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens

Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens

Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese

And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees

Decorate the house with lights at night

Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright

In the fireplace is the yule log

Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog

The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's

But each and every year we bust Chrsitmas carols

(Christmas melodies)

[Run-D.M.C.]

Rhymes so loud and proud you hear it

It's Christmas time and we got the spirit

Jack Frost chillin', the orchas out?

And that's what Christmas is all about

The time is now, the place is here

And the whole wide world is filled with cheer

[D.M.C.]

My name's D.M.C. with the mic in my hand

And I'm chilling and coolin' just like a snowman

So open your eyes, lend us an ear

We want to say

Sentence Prayer

Lord, keep us from trying to distinguish between the deserving and the 

undeserving poor.  Help us work to alleviate suffering and injustice 

wherever we find it, trusting that the rest is up to you.  Amen R.M.
