'Twas The Month Before Christmas

‘Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.

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 did 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 U2, 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 Wal-Mart and Staples, at 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 Obama, Now Biden, Now Pelosi, and Jackson,
On Boxer, on Rather, on Reid, and Al Sharpton!
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 'Holiday Tree’

Sipping your Starbucks, please listen to me.

If you take Christ out of Christmas, it’s just another day!

Choose your words carefully; choose what you say
Shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS!” not "Happy Holidays!"

Christ is S-T-I-L-L The Reason for the Christmas Season!

Blessings to You & Yours,
