  • How they Stole Christmas.

    Twas the month before Christmas
    When all through our land,
    Not a Christian was praying
    Nor taking a stand.
    Why the Politically Correct 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 Chesnee, 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 Kennedy, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
    On Boxer, Nancy P., 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!

    No one can steal the meaning of Christmas. If you have a strong faith it doesn't matter whether it says Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. I have friends of many faiths and say Happy Holidays as a general rule. When I know the person is Christian I'll say Merry Christmas but one of the most obnoxious women I know made it a point at parties around the holidays to say Merry Christmas to every Jewish person she met very loudly and "in your face". If your faith is so weak that you must see and hear the words from a generic store I feel sorry for you. JMHO, Linda
