I know this is email banter, but it goes well with our new teaching series, Artificial Christmas.
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 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-is-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 !*
Please, all Christians join together and
Wish everyone you meet during the
Holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason˜ for the Christ-mas Season!



It’s sad to say that this is far too true. How in the world have we fallen away so far from our Christian Christmas celebration. It really bothers me to see my grandchildren’s school celebrating Kwanzaa and not Christmas. What do they think Christmas is all about? Don’t they see the “Christ” in Christmas.
How many people would be out shopping for Kwanzaa presents? I’m not even sure what Kwanzaa is all about. Certainly nothing good.
Sad, but true. Thanks for sharing this!
Wow — what a sad commentary on ‘us’, the Christians. The whole PC ‘thing’ that really bothers me is the suggestion that we just offer happy holiday/season’s greetings wishes to one another as we don’t want to ‘offend’. I have to say that, if a Jewish person wished me a happy Hanukkah, a Muslim, a nice Ramadan or someone observing Kwanzaa, a similar greeting, I certainly wouldn’t be offended in the least! I would simply respond ‘Happy whatever’ back to them!!! How are cheerful words ever considered offensive?? Some people will ride the PC train to their grave! There is too much going on in the world to fuss about such a silly thing!! UGH!!
BY THE WAY – MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
