They're trying to take,
The Christ out of Christmas,
It's just a holiday,
When you meet a stranger, friend, or neighbor,
Happy Holidays is what you should say,
They are trying,
To take the Christ out of Christmas,
It's a holiday tree,
No special importance,
No meaning for all to see,
They are trying,
To take the Christ out of Christmas,
It's called St. Nicholas day,
A man dressed in red gives gifts away,
No mention of the greatest Gift of all,
Some might be offended,
No mention of the star that shone so bright,
Only sales 50% off after midnight,
They are trying
To take the Christ out of Christmas,
Sing songs about a jolly man and a sleighDon't sing about the manger in
which the Baby Jesus lay,
Talk of stereos and TVs,
and running up credit cards,
Talk about how crowded the malls are,
And shopping is so hard,
Talk of cookies, and cakes,
And dinner to make,
But for goodness sake,
Don't mention the  wise men who travel so far,
Bringing gifts of great worth,
Don't speak of the angels saying peace on earth,
Just spend, spend, spend,
Like you don't have to repay,
The more the gift costs is indicates its worth,
Don't give yourself away,
Buy your children the toys they  see on TV,
It's the only way to make them happy.
They are trying
To take the Christ out of Christmas,
But as for me,
I will sing of the joy that came to earth,
Of a star that shone,
For the Savior's birth,
I'll talk of giving gifts  that come from the heart,


You can't put a price on love
I will sing Christmas songs,
I'll decorate a Christmas tree,
and I will say "Merry Christmas" to everyone I see.
