#10 - Take Back Christmas

Lets take back Christmas.

I'm tired of people saying "Happy Holidays", "Seasons Greetings", "Merry Christmakah" or "We're going to a 'holiday' party." What happened to Christmas? What happened to Merry Christmas or a Christmas party? I'm tired of people creating fake holidays to take the place of Christmas. I'm tired of the PC police telling me that I can't say Merry Christmas because it might offend someone. Last time I checked I lived in America, and I have the right to freedom of speech.

So your offended by me saying Merry Christmas...then too bad, because I do celebrate Christmas, and not the Santa Clause Christmas but the Happy Birthday Jesus Christmas. Your offended, what about me? I'm offended that your trying to push your fake holidays on me. Now I'm not saying that you have to celebrate Christmas, if you celebrate Hanuka or Kwanzaa or whatever else that's fine by me. Everyone has the right to celebrate what they want or believe in whatever they want, and that includes me.

So why is it that it's OK for you to celebrate your holidays, but I can't say Merry Christmas. I'm offended that you've taken Christmas out of Christmas. Who's looking out for my feelings, where's the PC police for me? Oh right...their not coming because they wouldn't want to hurt any one's feelings by standing up for Christmas. But they'll stand up for all those other fake holidays, this just doesn't make any sense.

Christmas has been stolen from me and no one seems to care. I'm taking Christmas back. If you say Happy Holidays, I'm saying Merry Christmas. If you say Seasons Greetings, I'm saying Merry Christmas. If you say X-mas, I'm saying Christmas. And the worst one of all - If you say Merry Christmakuh, I'm saying Merry Christmas. From now on it's Christmas or nothing.

Take a stand for Christmas!

Take a stand for Baby Jesus!

Say Merry Christmas again.

I'm not scared or ashamed to display my nativity, and you should not be either.

*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!*
