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, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
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 Sharptonk, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To elimiante 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
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

P.S. This was sent to me this morning by my sister in Tucson, Arizona. Thought I'd share it with you. If you agree, fine.
If you don't agree, then never mind.

The poem makes a great point, Jabber! I WILL start saying "Merry Christmas," instead of something more "PC."

Glad U feel that way. Sometimes I hestitate to post my own
feelings, not knowing your take on stuff. Don't want to offend
anyone ya know!

Don't worry about that! This forum is for all of us, and as I always told me kids when they were little. "Feelings are what they are. They are genuine, and worth sharing."

Thank you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!
