*Twas the month before Christmas*

*When all through our land,*

*No person was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*The PC Police had now taken away,*

*The true meaning of Christmas - but 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 some feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just ' Holiday '.*

*Yet shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks to the floor just to find gifts of merit!*

*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, and an I-pod*

*And something was changing - yes, something quite odd! *

*Retailers advertised Ramadan, Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Al Franken & Fonda.*

*As Target was hanging its trees upside down*

* At Lowe's the word Christmas - would nowhere be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*

*You wouldn’t hear “Christmas” in anyone’s ears.*

*Inclusive, and Sensitive, and Di-ver-si-ty*

*Are words that are used to discourage me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!*

*From the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*”Eliminate Christmas, in all public matter!*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took back the space*

* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*

*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*

*The Season’s reason had been disregarded.*

*So as you enjoy 'Winter Break' by your Tree'*

*Sipping your Starbucks, just listen to me. *

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,

And not Seasons Greetings !*

And make someone’s day!

Please, join all together and wish those you meet

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Remember the Reason for the Christmas Season!
