    Twas 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 nowhere 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-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 very
    MERRY CHRISTMAS

    this is my very first year celebrating christmas, so some ideas for my secret santa are:

    any tree ornaments or christmas decor (refer back to last line stating i have never celebrated before....the house looks pretty bare, LOL)

    a donation to my daughter's school (they are a non profit organization--they run a wonderful program for deaf/hard of hearing kids)

    a pair of cozy house slippers as my current pair are in need of retirement (i'm a woman, size 7.5 shoe)

    stationary--i love sending hand written letters

    i guess that's all i can think of right now. and um, i realize this wish list makes me sound like a 98 year old woman, but i'm only 31! lol
