I got this in an e-mail. This sounds so true for this year! Can you believe this?
The Month Before Christmas
Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor 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 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!

AMEN! thank you for sharing that with us! i, however, am happy to say that my school is proudly putting up CHRISTmas trees, and not calling them anything but CHRISTmas trees. it fills me with pride. i live in texas, and actually, we just ADDED "one state, UNDER GOD" to our state pledge. it makes me so happy that i'm living in an area where some are still not afraid to say marry CHRISTmas. i just hope you all have the same experience this CHRISTmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
And that poem is right. I don't care if it offends someone; Christmas is Christmas! People have gone mad with PC.

I don't celebrate any holidays excepting Independence Day and Memorial Day. So it doesn't bother me.
