It Was the 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 MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!

Living in a democracy everyone is supposed to have the right to worship, pray & celebrate according to their beliefs. Christmastime is a celebration of the birth of Christ & that time is considered by Christians to be a Holyday not just a Holiday.

Some of the casinos play seasonal music that has been carefully chosen to remove any of the religious songs. Most of what's left is not worth listening to.

This world is getting more un-Godly every. I wonder how much longer God will allow it to continue. Thanks for the comment and have a great CHRISTMAS

So true that the meaning of Christmas has escaped us. As someone pointed out, Holiday is a corruption of Holy Days.
