Christmas Spirit?

​‘Twas the month before Christmas when all through our land, Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.
 
Why the Politically Correct 'Police' had taken away, All of the reasons 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 and shoving and raving to get it!
 
CDs from musicians, 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 are 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!
