'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 nowhere 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 Durbin, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
 
 On Boxer, on Reed, 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!


Blessed Sunday to all!
