T’was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PCPolice 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!
CD’s from Madonna, an XBOX, and iPod
Something was changing, something quit 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 Penney’s and Sears
You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Diver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blizen
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 you ‘Dream Tree’
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!
Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet during the holidays a MERRY CHRISTMAS. Christ is the reason for the Christmas Season!
