I WISH EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Twas
the week 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 Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-t-y
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 !
Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet

Kudos for the Christmas Carol Parody. EVERY YEAR I have to endure commercial jingles on the radio that, in one way or another, mock Christmas. I am so fed up with this cradle-to-grave Masonic B.S.!
I will go to stores and window shop. I will enjoy their displays. But I do all my shopping through online and mail order sites and I have made it a point for years now to boycott those products whose jingles are just too much to bear.
I sincerely hope that "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," which got junked here in NYC about five years ago STAYS JUNKED!!! (Even the radio stations had to respond to public disgust over it...)
