Now That Thanksgiving Is Over...

[FOsteology]

Twas a 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 another "Holiday".


Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Lady Gaga, 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-is-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Reid !

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!

I dont know about you but i celebrate my lords birthday

[gravesco hunter]

It has always been CHRISTMAS for me

[FinsnFur]

That pretty much sums it up Fos. For too many Christmas is losing Christmas

Nice poem, how true. I'm a far cry from being a good Christian. None the less my faith is solid. I also don't give a rats rump about the stinking cattle dung heathens.

MERRY CHRISTmas TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
