A friend sent me this from Australia.
Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the Politically Correct 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, cheques and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from pop stars, an X box, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd
It is rare to hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Through out the Government, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate The Lord 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 “Summer Holiday”
*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
“MERRY CHRISTMAS”
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!
