It Is Not Christmas (Nick)
12/8/2007 1:33:30 AM


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........

Hi Nick,

It's no secret that I'm not a Christian but your point is well taken (and well written as usual). There is no justification for the changes we see taking place in the good old USA.

People of all faiths should be able to celebrate their Holidays of choice with the joy of old and not feel as if the name of the Holiday is a "dirty" word.

One thing though, the word Holiday is a combination of Holy & Day so there is nothing really very wrong with wishing a Happy Holy Day.

For those that don't know the Jewish people are celebrating the Holiday of Channukah this week so as a sign off with this post I want to wish all my Christian friends a Merry Christmas & all my Jewish friends Happy Channukah.

Best wishes to all & Shalom,

Peter

Hello Nick,

I agree with Peter people of all faith should be able to pursue the faith of their choice. After all we are "One Nation Under God" and no one should take this away from us NO ONE.  I realize you don't argue the political side of things in your forums and I respect you for that, I'll be good and not say what is on my mind and on the mind of many others in that regard. Very well written Nick, thank you.

God Bless you Nick

Shalom to you Peter
and Happy Channukah

God Bless Everyone

Nick, while I am basically Christian, I believe that all faiths hold truth.
I follow no Religion and one reason is things like Christmas as it was spelt origionally, Christs Mass. This fabrication was brought about by the apostical Roman Catholic Church as with also Easter to bring Pagans into the church.
Christmas is really part of the Pagan Winter Solace which is far from Christianity.
When your post says It`s Not Christmas, that even brings up another point and that is that the dates are also way out as well. Its really all very false teaching.
Christmas in this day and age as become so comercialized, that really few people even now link Christmas to Christianity.
However in saying what I have said. If people really choose to use Christmas as rememberance for Jesus Christ then it is good, however also everyday is a day for Jesus Christ our savior, it really comes back to choice and conditioning from what we are programed with in our early years by our parents.

I do not mean to put a spanner in the works, but I believe that in these latter days we can choose to find truth in our lives and not be swayed into following False Teachings from what is most of the Christian Religions that are Man Made.
Anyways, have a lovely Christmas, if you celebrate, this event. Keith.
