*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*


*'Cause the PC Police had taken away*
*And 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 of selling books by Franken or 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 every 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 or discarded*
*The reason for the season, was 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 !*

Yes it sure is a growing problem. Here's a Youtube video I was sent yesterday that talks about the same thing.

It's ridiculous. I hate hearing happy holidays. I WILL not say it. At work, I say Merry Christmas to every customer who comes through my line.

Target I believe is one of the companies that only saw Happy Holidays. It is just ridiculous. The reason for that whole holiday season is Christmas! It's so stupid that they will honor other religion's holidays, but not the Christian one! What IS that!

It makes me soo mad.

But! I can't remember...maybe this was Target or something. But I know that this past Christmas, Target stores put up an even amount of "Happy Holiday" and "Merry Christmas" things around the store, but the employees still only say Happy Holidays.
