Twas the month before Christmas - new version


here is an american version someone emailed me, i'm sure someone has a canadian version or could make one up:

*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 Penney'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 !*

Thanks for that speelman1958.

An incredible thing happened this morning. As I was dropping my 16 yr. old daughter off at school she said:
 
"Daddy, we have a Christmas tree in the foyer !"

Leaside High School, Bayview and Eglinton, pretty much the geographical centre of the left wing political island known as Toronto. My kudos to the school principal Jeanette Plonka ! Now that shows some kahoonas!!


PS. A Winston Churchill nugget: Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. I don't give a SH*T. ITS Christmas and that's all there is to it . If you don't believe go to work and tell the boss to keep the pay for the holiday and rip up you bonus if you get one.
AMEN.

Just who are we protecting? Census data shows that 77% of Canadians identify themselves as CHRISTIAN. 2.0% as Muslim and 1.1 % as Jewish. Those are the top 3 religions identified in our census data.

77% is really every 8 out 10 people are CHRISTIAN. Notice the common root word of CHRISTMAS and CHRISTIAN is CHRIST, our lord and saviour. What gives in this country? It is what it is.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

To Really experience true Christianity/Faith. Feel the explosive power of CARING FOR EACH OTHER. Jesus put everything into a nutshell when he phrased the two great commandments. The most difficult is keeping the second great commandment by loving your neighbour as you love yourself! Today the Canadian Poncho proved what goodwill can achieve and the ripple effect of one good deed upon the other!!! Thank you All and let the true Spirit of Christmas be with you!!! AMEN!

Christmas 2008.jpg    Last year, I sent "Old Autos" a e-mail thanking them, for wishing us a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!  The lady, who did it, sent me a note saying thanks!!   Today I get my paper, and the front page says; HAPPY HOLIDAYS disbelief    I sent them a note, asking if they had been bought out by a "Holiday" company...   I hope, if you have a minute, you could e-mail them, and wish them, a Merry Christmas....C2
