Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinking too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication,
And she staggered out the door into the snow.0 -
if someone ever turned a christmas poem into a cute little religious internet meme for my dead child, I would find their house.0

Twas the night before Christmas
Twenty children had died,
so I took this as my chance,
to proselytize.
Win!0 -
Personally I find this offensive.
I cannot stand people using this horrible horrible tragedy which still makes me tear up... in order to advance their religious agenda.0 -

I was saddened to see
these lives come to a halt,
But I knew in my heart
it was the atheists' fault0 -
I dont know about all of you, but when i read this I got a tear in my eye. This was read on the Dr Phil Show ::::
Twas 11 days before christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed though heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air,
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didnt know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse
"this is heaven." declared a small boy.
"we're spending christmas in God's house."
when what to their wondering eyes did appear, but jesus,
their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same,
then he opened his arms and called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring.
those children all flew into the arms of their king
and as they lingered in the warmth of his embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face
and as if he could read all the questions she had
he gently whispered to her, "I' ll take care of mom and dad"
then he looked down on Earth, the world far below
He saw all the hurt, the sorrow, and woe then he closed his eyes
and he outstretched his hand,
"Let my power and presence re-enter this land!"
"may this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"Im taking back my nation, Im taking back my schools!"
Yeah... pretty sure that *kitten* will get locked and removed. Keep it on your Facebook. Actually, keep it to yourself entirely. No reason to use such a horrible event to promote your own views on religion, politics, and morality.0 -

Don't forget the Muslims,

The gays, the lesbians, and even the bis.0 -

as long as they know how to properly dip a beef sandwich, what they do in the privacy of their basement is none of my business0 -
I love when people use tragedy to promote their own views.
Not really0 -
Yeah, I have to look at 20 little pics every day, I have to because I need to see them... but I find the poem in bad taste. And it makes me angry, it all makes me angry. and I'll leave it at that...0

you need a beef sandwich
I swear to every god man ever invented, a good beef sandwich cures everything0 -
Keep the "Christ" in "Christmas" just like we should all keep the "bible thumping" in "horrific tragedy"

WOW, I'm going to repost this.... trying not to tear up at work as we speak. Thanks for sharing!
Same0 -
OP, thank you for posting this... I teared up as I read it.
Then... I teared up reading the hateful comments.
Peace to all those involved in this horrible, horrible, incident.

"It's your violent secular culture,"
Said Jesus with a frown
As he stopped to adjust
His bloody thorn crown.0 -

Some of us know the families involved enough to know they weren't all Christian, and therefore find this poem to be twisted, political, divisive, and self-serving. If that's your idea of "peace" then please send it to the parents who lost children, I'm sure they'll all really enjoy the secret insider knowledge you have that their kids are dancing in heaven and that God himself has decided to insert himself back into the school system.0 -
From Dr. Phil? Fail.0

I find this offensive, every year I find this offensive and stupid. Why haven't the moderators pulled this damn song and now MOVIE from circulation??? why? eh god some people write the stupidest stuff...is Stupidest even a word? GOOD GOD I'm infected now...:sad:0 -
Saw this on Facebook and shared... I love it! Keep CHRIST in Christmas! And also get him back in the Schools!!!0
-
This wasnt about someones religious belief! it was a nice poem written in honor of these kids.0
-
Just beautiful0
-
yes, because if they said prayers in school, God would not have let this happen
:explode:
I can't believe people are even saying this stuff, Children died because a woman owned guns that her son used to kill her and then others, this has nothing to do with god, it has to do with guns and mental health0 -
