Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Or 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 the shepherds, wise men, 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!
CD's from Madonna, an X-Box, an Ipod
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 nowhere to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penney'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 are used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, now Darden, now Sharpton, Wolf and 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.
And shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS", not "Happy Holidays"!
