    The Month before Christmas!

    ‘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 nowhere 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-is-ty

    Are words that were used to intimidate me.

    Now Daschle, Now Durbin, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

    On Boxer, on Reed, 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.&t;BR>
    Choose your words carefully, choose what you say

    Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!

    Nice one, Norm.
    I remember reading an adaptation with Santa coming to where a marine was sleeping. I know I’ll get it again soon. I’ll put it up when I do.

    I always wondered why retailers were so afraid to call it Christmas. Isn’t that what it is?

    For the people that do not believe in Christmas, why should I have to give them a paid holiday. Should they not work a normal schedule as it is just another day to them?

    Just wondering

    Sounds fair, but wouldn’t that mean you would have to go in to work also? Or at minimum you would have to have your cell phone by your side.

    Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shop,

    Not a fabricator was building,

    Not even one top.

    When all of a sudden you heard a slight hum,

    And out came Tom Mather with a bottle of rum.

    hehehehehehehehehehehe

    The radio was playing christmas songs by Clapton,
    Tom rested his leg – just like “The Captain”.
    The shop lads all looked and gave a guffaw,
    For Tom’s leg was perched on Dave from FedSaw.

    (back at ya, babe)

    Twas the night before Christmas and the kids had no candy,

    Santa had left it in Cali with his elf Andy.

    But low & behold it became a good story,

    As the day was saved, by Santas friend Mory.

    You missed your calling Dave.

    Santa tried and tried but his stuck sleigh just falters,

    Till his friend came along, his name was Norm Walters.

    Norm twisted and tugged and pulled, what a pain,

    Yet he fixed it and away Santa went, to see his elf Shane.

    Sorry Andy I couldn’t help it,

    Twas the night before Christmas and all through the night
    not a router was running not even a light when Santa heard a rumor and thought
    it were true he logged on to the FabNet but no one he knew.
    He asked around to meet the one with the wit he said you know the one
    the one that sells bits, then Santa was off and he gave us a wave and there
    right beside him was fedsawdave.

    Shane
