Twas A Month Before Christmas

Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS,
Not Happy Holiday!

Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet during the
holidays a MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is 'The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!

Sunnyinoc---you sure got it right. Merry Christmas !! Jesus is too often forgotten, and whether one is a believer or not, the message of peace and hope and love is timeless and for all.

Not everyone is a Christian. Think about that.

That doesn't mean their celebrations can't be recoqnized just like any other Holiday.

"Jesus" has always been the reason for the "Christmas" season.

If you are not a Christian, then you do not have to celebrate Christmas. Please do not ruin our celebration with your negative attacks on our holiday. We do not ruin your celebration and in fact bend over backwards to appease you.

Merry Christmas everyone and remember, Jesus does love you.

Maybe all the Christians should stop purchasing and exchanging gifts during the Christmas season.....
then see what happens to the economy.
