I will be hanging this on my window this holiday season. Tell me what u think? Good idea or not?

Question

*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 ch anging, 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-is-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 wor d, 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!*

This will be my way of protesting this Happy Holiday nonesense. Lets see who will have the guts to come knock on my door & tell em to take that out my own window.

Unfortunately it wasn't me who wrote this. A friend of mines gets the credit for that. :)

Answer 1

I can definitely see your outrage over the whole PC situation. Even though my winter holiday comes a few days before Christmas, I still like to get together with my family (the majority of whom are Christian) and have fun in the traditional way. It's not about religion to us, it's about love, family and togetherness.

Yes, by all means, put that on your door. Print it on festive holiday paper in a pretty script font:) And put glitter on it. Sorry, that's a throwback from my schooldays, when kids were allowed to make Christmas cards and hear classic Christmas stories in class. (I'll never forget my third grade teacher reading "The Night Before Christmas" to us.) From what I hear, most kids don't get that experience anymore. It's sad. Yes, display this poem with all your Christmas decorations. Put it on your website, too, if you have one. Very few people are happy with this PC garbage, even the ones they're trying to placate. (Like me. I'm not a Christian, but I have no problem with them. These PC people are breaking a very important common sense rule: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Christmas wasn't broke.)

Answer 2

Amen! I say Jesus is the Reason for the Season and this "Happy Holiday" stuff is just too politically correct for me.
I know not everyone believes in Jesus or the nativity story, but to me that is what Christmas is all about.

So Merry CHRISTmas!!!

And have a Happy New Year!

Answer 3

I've answered this question twice already basically, heres what I had to say to the other askers who seemed very defensive against Happy Holidays:

Since I'm Jewish, I always say Happy Holidays, and often am given a cold, defensive response in return. Perhaps people should realize that when someone says Happy Holidays, maybe they are trying to be inclusive, rather than "politically correct", and accept the good wishes.

Answer 4

Tell ya what...I live in a very rural area. They publish a weekly flyer with all kinds of things going on in our area.....This will be given to them & I know they will love it. Everyone here will. As to Lowes n Wal-Mart, don't go there n don't plan on it unless I feel ornery n dress up as an elf running thru their stores shouting Merry Christmas...Ho-Ho-Ho!!

Answer 5

I love it. Did you hear about Lowes Home Improvement and their ad for CHRISTMAS trees???
The ad was listed them as "Family Trees" I about lost it. The holiday is Christmas. I checked every calendar I own and they all say Dec 25 is Christmas. I doesnt say Dec 25 Holiday or Family day or Xmas...its Christmas!!!! Ugg this is one of my pet peeves!

Answer 6

Freedom of Speech allows you to post it in your window.

However, the "reason for the season" is not accurate. Lambs are not born in December but in the spring, so the Angel announcing Jesus' birth to the shepherds must have done so then and Jesus was probably born closer to Easter.

The early Christian church arbitrarily chose December to celebrate the birth for several reasons: the Romans already had a feast of Saturnalia and they wanted more converts (its easier to convert folks if you explain that their pagan traditions really celebrate your own doctrine), and other pagan traditions had offerings to the waning Sun (Son) to return to the Earth and make the days long again and the crops grow.

Answer 7

The jews get the city to pay for a gigantic menorah but they sue to get a creche scene removed! And Jesus was a jew! Anything to oppose the Catholic church!

Answer 8

Good work you and your friend I totally agree! I think it might be to long for people to read the whole thing, but hope they do.

Answer 9

Amen Scooter!

I am grateful that my children go to a Catholic School, and we get to see their "Christmas" program.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

I will shout it, and say it to everyone... especially those who work at Wal-Mart and can't say it unless it's said to them first.

Answer 10

That is fantastic - tell your friend ''Nice One''!
If they don't mind I would like to put it in my window too as I am so sick of this ''Political Correctness' its all gone wrong.
