Default Twas the month before Christmas*

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 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 !*

Please, all Christians join together and

wish everyone you meet during the

holidays a

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

Its true. Dec. 25 IS Chirstmas. Its not a holiday for everyone. Its for those of us that still remember that its for Jesus' birth. I'm not preachin but I remember listening to the Chirstmas story from my parents. Its not about buying gifts for others. Its about giving what you can, even if its just your presence. Just my 2 cents.

every time someone says merry Xmas in a message, or chat or in person, or on anything i say something to them. the reason for the X in Xmas is meaning Xing out christ from it. i am a believer in jesus chrsit and in my home, we celebrate CHRISTMAS. so to all that read, have a merry CHRISTmas

nice that is the problem with the world today we are so worried about offending other religions and diversities that we forgot the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus' birth the world needs to remember that and not worry bout the other pety stuff we tend to worry about.
