Ready, set, spoil!

Bear on a sledge!

I don't know who wrote this and it's not 100% correct but it's close... and it is Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays or anything else.

Merry Christmas! !

Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying nor 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
Shoving and pushing folks around 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 nowhere to be found.
At K-Mart and Wal-Mart 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!"
