Twas the month before Christmas
when all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.
“Politic’ly correct” 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 Twenty Fifth 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, X-BOX, and I-pod,
And something was changing, ‘twas something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan, Kwanzaa,
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You will not hear “Christmas;” it won't touch your ears.
In-clu-sive and Sen-si-tive, 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, arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matters.
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
And the reason for the season, stopped before it started.
As you celebrate "Winter Break" by your "Dream Tree"
By sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully; choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!
