A Christmas Poem Mike's Mom sent to me. I know its a little negative, but after all, Christmas is all about CHRISTmas and its about time we all remember that!!
`Twas the month before Christmas when all through our land
Not a Christian was praying, not taking a stand.
Why 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!
CD's 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 and Fonda.
As Targets are hanging their trees upside down,
At Lowe's the word Christmas was nowhere 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'.

That's not negative at all Booger! It's true! I am going to copy it and put it up at work! My coworker was mad at me today because when he asked what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I wanted everyone to donate money to charity; he told me I made him feel like a bad and selfish person...I just sad "glad I could help!"
Thanks for sharing this Laura! Love you sis!
