IS IT HAPPY HOLIDAYS OR MERRY CHRISTMAS?

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
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 got to get it! **CDs from Madonna, and XBox, and 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 CHRIST-MAS
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
