Month Before Christmas

Born to start life in manger, died upon a tree, Came to earth to pay the Price, of redeeming you and me.

Author Unknown, (Altered by Arley Steinhour) 110511

*Twas the month before Christmas,

And all through the land,

Few Christians were praying,

Or taking a stand.

*Why the P C Police,

had taken away,

The Reason for Christmas,

No one dare say.

*The children were told,

By their schools not to sing,

About Shepherds, Wise Men,

Angels, and things.

*'You'll hurt people's feelings,'

The teachers would say,

'Twelve Twenty-Five,

is just called 'Holiday.''

*Yet, shoppers were ready,

With cash, check and credit

Knocking folks to the floor,

Just to get, and buy it!

*CDs from Madonna,

X BOX, or I-Pod

The season was changing,

Into something quite odd!

*Retailers promoted,

Ramadan and the Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books,

By Franken & Fonda.

*Target Stores hung,

Their trees upside-down,

At Lowe's, the word 'Christmas,'

Was no where found.

*At K-Mart, and Staples,

Penny's, and Sears,

Words 'Merry Christmas;'

Won't touch your ears.

*Inclusive, and Sensitive,

Di-ver-si-ty,

Words that were used,

To intimidate me.

*Now Daschle, Now Darden,

Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, On Rather,

Kerry, and Clinton!

*All over Congress,

Arose such a clatter,

"Eliminate Jesus,

In all public matter."

*We spoke not a word,

As they took our faith,

Forbidden to speak,

Of Salvation and Grace.

*The true Gift of Christmas,

Exchanged and discarded,

Reason for the Season,

Stopped where it started.

*'Celebrate 'Winter Break,

Under Dream Tree'

Sipping your Starbucks,

Please listen, Hear me.

*Pick your words carefull,

Choose this to say:

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, TO ALL,

Not Happy Holiday!

*We Love one another,

Wherever we meet,

With all, Please do share HIM,

And His Love So Sweet.

*"Christ," Reason For,

Our, "Christ-mas Season!"

Thinking any other thought,

Could be construed as Treason.
