Christmas Poem

Another little article from the Buffalo Gap newspaper, December 2007 issue, Vol. XII, No. 7, submitted by P Lacey of Bellville, Ohio.

'Twas the month before Christmas
When all thorough the 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 Shephers 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 shopers 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 I-pod.
Something was changing,
Something quite odd!


Retailers promoted
Ramadan and Kwanzaa.
In hope to sell books
By Franken and Fonda.


As Target were hanging
Their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas-
Was nowhere 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 Redbird, Amen!
Every time I hear "Happy Holidays", it makes my blood boil, and I always correct with "Merry Christmas".
Great post, God bless you!

Thanks so much, Terrie, I know just what you mean. I guess you could say I am getting sort of radical in my old age. I'm real tired of people messing with my faith and I feel like it's time we Christian's started making some noise.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and God Bless,
Cecilia

For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Merry Christmas and Have A Blessed New Year

In life we must learn how to love, live with it and learn to let go.
