It is a good thing you did this introduction. I would never know about your carols if I did not read this now, and I will certainly make a note to check out the carols you have. Thank you

Thanks friend there are rewards on the four carols right now if you care to look at them. I appreciate you coming by. Not sure if we have met before. I plan to check out all my new friends that have come by on this current promotion. God Bless.

I haven't reviewed your work, but this introduction hook your readers to stop and read your work. The information you provided aroused the interest of the readers to the Christmas carols you have written. I have to admit though, that I am a Christian who give more importance on the death and resurrection of Christ, rather than His celebrated birth, that was declared only by the Catholic Pope. December 25 is actually not Christ' birthday but the birthday of Tammuz, a pagan god.

AMEN Friend. I agree about the pagan Origins of 'Christmass' and how when Constantine declared "Christianity the religion for all humanity he also added his own history of paganism. I run our church web site and right now till New Year we are running a Special Front Page which includes the information on the Pagan origins of Christmas. Here is the link if you wish to read it all. But you probably know it all anyway. http://nepeanbaptistoz.witnesstoday.org/Indexbackup.html Friend I agree with what you are saying however with out Christ's birth and coming we would have no sinless sacrifice at calvary for pour sins. One of my carols this leads to was the last one I wrote called "He Came To Die For Us" I appreciate your comments and hope you will look at my carols. We in Australia use the Christmas and Easter periods for evangelism whjile understanding the pagan background of bother"celebrations" Rome has ciertainly maintained the lie with her "salvation by grace....PLUS the sacraments" God Bless.

HI Geoff ...
What an alluring introduction to what is to come. How could I not want to read on? I will do so as soon as I can ... possibly starting tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. God Bless ...

Thanks mate. So glad you made it over here. Hope you will check out the carols there is a small reward on each one as well. God Bless mate.

That's my full intention, Geoff. I'm working my time around multiple medical appointments (recently diagnosed with cancer, ya know), preparing my twin sisters book for publication, and multiple musical commitment (I write songs for movie soundtracks). But, I will get there for sure. See ya then ...

Comment from Dr. Nad
Thank you for your explanation and introduction to a book of poems and Christmas carols that is forthcoming. There is so much commercialization of Christmas. There is so much hijacking of Christmas by the secular emphasis on Santa Claus and gift receiving. Thank you for pointing us back the fundamentals of our faith! May God bless you! Merry Christmas!

Hello Sankey :)
This is a nice introduction to your carols but where are the carols? I was expecting to read a poem and instead I have an introduction.

Hi friend I think I need to change the classification. The carols follow in the book and I hope you will take the time to check them out. Hope the music works for you Windows media should play them ok!
Comment from robyn corum
Even though this was not a 'Spiritual Poetry' piece, I thought it seemed like a well-written introduction for a series of carols/poems. The only thing I found to comment on is that you repeated the date of the writing of 'He came to die for you'. Probably not needed to be mentioned twice. Otherwise, very nice!

Thanks Robyn will work on that later. About to go out. Might change the classification of the post. It is related to "Spiritual" carols though hope you will have a wander.
Comment from Domino 2
As you ask in your notes, I didn't 'hear any music'.
Good to se you're re-writing and updating some carols, though many oldies shall remain timeless - even to me, an agnostic - and of course I agree with you that Christmas nowadays has little to do with the original meaning, which the majority ignore, certainly here in the UK.
Best wishes, Ray.

Thanks Ray, appreciate your comments. As I state in one of the Carols the world has forgotten about Christmas. We only have to look at the push of "Happy Holidays" against merry Christmas and so on. I had a real drive behind writing these Not sure if I mentioned it was the yearly Royal Blind Society Carols By Candle Light show on Tv in Melbourne all those years ago got me going as to the LACK of Songs around the real meaning of Christmas. Cheers mate thanks again.

Hi friend yes these are all my own compositions as stated they were born out of a frustration that too many people have forgotten the real meaning of Christmas. The latest one written many years after the other 3 was inspired at 5am one morning had to dive out of bed to get it down! It has been said the latest one is a good song for any time not just Christmas...call He came To Die For You. Let me know if you have trouble hearing the melody. Thanks again.
Comment from rspoet
This is a very nice introduction to your carols
explaining the origin and the reason behind
their creation, the true meaning of Christmas
Looking for to the book to listen to the carols themselves.
Well done

Hi William Ross thanks for the review. I think I saw you the other day reviewing my wife's Book of Our Trips in Australia on Tootsie55. Let me know if you need help with the sound of the Carols.
