What If It Rains on Christmas?

 

 

 

What if it rains on Christmas,

Will you still enjoy?

Perhaps, if you were a little boy or girl

And you had your wished-for toy.

 

What if it rains on Christmas,

Will you stay in bed?

I guess you would if you were sick

And had to stay there instead.

 

What if it rains on Christmas,

Will you go out visiting?

Maybe, you’ll spend your day at home

And gorge yourself with eating.

 

What if it rains on Christmas,

Will you go to church?

Somehow, I feel you’ll probably go

But not through the muddy dirt.

 

 

What if it rains on Christmas,

Will you still be happy?

I guess if you understand its reason

You probably will be.

 

What if it rains of Christmas,

Will you still entertain?

Some will and some won’t, I guess,

Because of the added strain.

 

What if it rains on Christmas

Will you still wear that new outfit?

Or keep it back for New Year's

When it would still be hit?

 

What if it rains on Christmas,

Tell me, what would you do

That you would not ordinarily do

If the sun is shining through?

 

 

For a rainy Christmas is forecast

So, you’d better be prepared

For such an eventuality

And wear effective rain gear.

 

Ladies, it will cover your outfit

That you so much want to show-off

And the high heels you like to wear

Could stick in a muddy trough.

 

Sea-bathers, bear in mind,

If it rains you will get wet

So, if you are allergic to water

Save yourself this regret.

 

 

And remember, all of the above,

Jesus is the reason

Whether it rains or shine

During this Christmas season.
