T'was 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 Kwanza
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 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 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!
They don't know what they're missing
After the fight, they'll be hissing
and soon find out we were right
Then it's too late to accept the "LIGHT"
In the service of the Savior,
Minister Dr. Trudy Veerman

Take the "LIGHT" out and there's NO
CHRISTmas!
Dear Trudy,
You said it as it is.. no LIGHT.. only darkness.. I have no idea how Christmas got changed into mostly santa claus and buying gifts.
The old saying, "JESUS is the reason for the season." I have never been fond of this saying, but it is so.
The poem you added on the bottom of the Blog is excellent..
May the Lord bless you and bless this BLOG.. and trusting that it
will touch people's lives and wake them up before it is too late.
Your friend in CHRIST,
Pat..
