This is an excellent introduction and certainly will encourage people who read it to want to read and hear your carols. I tried to follow the link, but could not hear them. I will try again. I don't really know why this is listed as a poem, but perhaps because it is part of a poem book? Anyway, I wish you the happiest of Christmases and much success with your music.

    Hi friend I had it listed some other way and got picked on for that so I changed it but oh well. The website where the Midi files for the carols are was down yesterday try http://nepeanbaptistoz.witnesstoday.org/Carols-Songs.html should work in Windows Media player. If you are on Cell or Tablet it may not work sadly. Have another go and let me know. Cheers.

I agree, Christmas has lost its meaning. Even the Christmas tree itself is not mentioned in scripture, except warning against it.
Jeremiah 10:3-4
For the customs of the people are worthless;
They cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.

    Hi new friend. Thanks for coming by. Not sure if you tried the carols. The web site where the Midi's were was down yesterday. Here is a link again it is working now. http://nepeanbaptistoz.witnesstoday.org/Carols-Songs.html Our pastor has a great spiritual application for the Christmas tree, but I agree with you the world has messed everything up. Nice to meet you not sure we have met before. God Bless.

I found this to be an interesting read. and I'm sure other readers will agree.
I must confess I was at first confused then I got it together.
Thank you for sharing.

I cannot hear the carols
I know not which ones you mean
Many Christmas Classics
Come from times remote to you and me

The best Christmas songs
Move with the ages long
That focus on the Christ Child
The Manger and the story

New Christmas songs are more
Commercial in their form
Not on the meaning of the Season
But on the Joy that is needed

    Hi friend I think the web site that I run for our church that I might have listed is down at the moment. I do hope you will be able to hear them at some time soon. Thanks for coming by.

I am sorry Sankey, I am not able to listen to these Carols! I have tried all that I know and it continues to come up as error each time.
Please send a different site.
God bless!

    AMEN so you got to hear the carols then. Yippeee. I plan to re-work the music and convert them to MP3 which should improve the quality of the sound eventually. Cheers.

Your observation that Christmas celebrations are not taking place in keeping with the real Christmas message is very true. What you had expressed in the year 2002, I am afraid, has undergone drastic changes. Commercialization of religious festivities seems to have plagued all religions in the world. May God save us from the degeneration.

    Thanks old friend for coming by. Yep. The first 3 carols were written in the 70's and the down hill slide was on even back then. Cheers.

    Thanks very much. They should work on Windows Media player. I noticed the church site where I also have them was down just now so let me know if you have trouble getting to hear the music.

Prologue of the book "Really, Truly" Christmas Carols.
The Where And Why Of These 'Christian' Christmas Carols.
"Introduction" Well don't worry about the lateness of this posting, it is rather late than never. An excellent creation about the truth of Christmas. Very well done.

Yes, it's true. We should be mindful of the true meaning of Christmas. I don't like the way the commercial world has capitalised on a Christian celebration.
He Came To Die For You = True!
God bless.

    Thanks friend can you hear the music? Can't remember if you said you are on PC or Mac/Apple? Also it won't work on Mobile/Cell or tablet I don't think.

Maybe if I could hear the carols, the songs would bring the writing to life. I do not understand this posting. What is it?

I was preparing to leave without review when I read -

"May your hearts be open to the real message of the time of the coming of our Saviour to the world to save us from our sins. This is and was my total reason for these works of inspiration."

Amen...but I'm missing something here.

Happy Holidays!

    If you agree with the concept why the score? Are you on PC or Apple? I can get you another link to our church web iste I run with the links to the music on it if you like. If you are on Mobile or Tablet that might stop you getting the music. Thanks for coming by.
