Delma I am so glad you sent this, I can see that all of these quotes are used everywhere. At my son's school you have the "giving tree" and NOT the Christmas tree. But its a big deal when someone comes in to talk about how they survied the Holocaust, but no one dare talk about the true meaning of Christmas. Infact tomorrow his school is going to see the Compass movie, of which I told them about the snopes story about the movie, but that did not change anything. take care Nicole

Why the Politically Correct 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 In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa 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! Merry Christmas!!
