I am a Grinch..

So when I confess the following..

You will judge me..

I will sound like the most Scrooge like person ever..

You know those songs that make everyone tear up..

Like "Christmas shoes"

And that new one called "Where's the line to see Jesus"

Yeah..

wait for it..

I really dislike those songs.

Good message..

But I feel like they are trying to hard...

It's like they are trying to cram a lifetime movie, a back to school special and a hallmark card..

in one 4 minute song..

Believe me..

I tear up at Christmas songs..

Because a Saviour leaving Heaven's glory..

to take our sin..

even though we would reject Him..

and die on a cross..

That tears me up plenty..

So I will pass on "Christmas shoes" thank you..

But on the following song you can pass me the tissues..

Because People understanding the sacrifice and the love of God..

That's my grown up Christmas list..

(don't even get me started on that song)

"Tonight He is born so one day He can die
To heal hearts that are torn and live the perfect life
So He can hang upon a cross and we can take His life
So we can live as sinners
And He can pay the price
Tonight He is born so one day he can die
But He will rise again

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born

The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
