Twas The month Before Christmas….

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 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-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!*

I can not take credit for this poem for this Christmas holiday. But I feel it shows a good picture as to the status of our faith in this country. In other countries, Christians are persecuted, beaten, and even killed for there faith. But here

we give ours away little by little and don’t even realize it. Take a stand and remember what the purpose of Christmas is. It is to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He came to the earth to live and suffer for you and me. So as you unwrap your presents and enjoy that family time, don’t forget to give thanks for the greatest gift of all. The life that was brought in just to die for us. I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas. May God bless each and every one of you. And may you resolute to make Jesus your focus from now on.  

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

  1. This is so true. We all need to stand up for what we believe in and not let this beautiful season go by with out proclaiming the Word of the Lord

  3. I am guilty for being caught in the 'Holiday' rush, but I'm very happy to report that every year I am tortured by not knowing what I am getting for Christmas. This year I have been to busy giving to other people that I haven't even thought about it until today! =) -Dannielle <3
