Virtual Card

Enjoy (which in this case means dislike) this card I picked up from That Dude's blog.
  

So they reaffirmed In God We Trust, (which I hear they did) but what can that do against the society described by this card? It's a sad world out there... btw, need I say pass it on? This is an American card, but that could easily mean the problem's universal...

Twas the month before Christmas 
Not a Christian was praying       
Nor taking a stand.       
Why 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!       

Please, all Christians join together and       
wish everyone you meet       
MERRY CHRISTMAS       
Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!       
If you agree please post this on your blog, if not, simply ignore.

  2. Hi, Joe! This reminds me (yet again) of that horror of horrors, the whiteboard in the church hall saying "Season's Greetings!" Not to mention the "Happy Holidays" pencils the RCIA class got as a gift.
