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