'Twas the month before Christmas...

Twas The Month Before ...
T’was 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 on 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,
And at Lowe’s the word Christmas - was not 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.
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 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 was started.
So as you celebrate ‘Winter Break’ under your ‘Dream Tree’
Sipping Starbucks: Listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say —
SHOUT “MERRY CHRISTMAS” not Happy Holiday!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! KEEP Christ in Christ-mas!
Jesus Is The ‘Reason’ for the Season!
Who buys Madonna CDs any more?
I don’t know who bought them before...your asking the wrong guy.
Maybe it has to do with it’s not being Christmas until December 25, rather than a month or two months before. Happy Easter!
My son uses your tagline on Facebook!
Have a Qwazy Quanza.
Is there any other kind?
It’s kind of unusual that Hanukkah is this week, rather than a month from now ... like the years in which Passover falls a month before Easter.
its those lunar calendars. easter first sunday after first full moon after vernal equinox.
It reminds us that time isn’t what we think ... or we could say, it IS what we think, unless we think something different.
