IS IT JUST A BAD DREAM OR ARE THESE THINGS REALLY HAPPENING?
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.
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
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason' for the
Christ-mas Season!
DON'T LET THE WORLD'S LOSS OF "REASON" STOP
YOUR WITNESS
FOR CHRIST'S "SEASON"
FOR CHRIST'S "SEASON"
I remember reading this a number of years ago when saying merry CHRISTmas was becoming unpopular. Too bad, I always reply Merry Christmas when someone says "happy holidays" and let my high school students know very well where I stand when it comes to this season. It is not "winter break", it is CHRISTmas break otherwise we would still be in school! So blessings on you and your family this Thanksgiving and may you and your family have a very merry and blessed Christmas and a happy, peaceful, prosperous and healthy new year. If I never see you this side of heaven again, dear Sister, I'll look for you just after I see Jesus and hear the angels sing :)
