    'Twas the month before Christmas

      Normal 0

    '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 had 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 !

     Don't know where that "Normal 0" came from.  Even in edit it wouldn't go away.

    Just one more reason we should take a stand , while looking to the Eastern sky. We must not be lazy Christians. If you love Jesus, say so!  You may be the only Bible that person may ever read. And be sure they will read you.
