Offensive Christmas Tree???

I very rarely actually get to watch the news in the morning or the evening for that matter and on the occasions that I do I realize why I don't miss it. The snippet that I caught this morning was the news that the Seattle airport had removed their Christmas Trees that traditionally stand atop the entrances of the airport. And as I seached for this article to link it I found a slew more from all over the country. WTH is the matter with this picture. Christmas is the one time of year when idiots all over think about their neighbors, are kind to strangers and generous to those in need. All in the name of the holiday season. Who are they kidding, it is all in the name of Christ. I'm afraid to see what will happen 10 years from now when the atheists, muslims, jews and others all have their way and eliminate Christ totally and irrevocably from the Christmas scene. Hopefully I'll be gone by then. To share a couple of other thoughts on the matter:

The month before Christmas

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

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 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.

But 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,
Our Countries were founded under the Christian way
To our "guests" I can say,
If You don't like it, You don't have to stay!!

Merry Christmas Everybody !!!!!

And:

The teacher asked her students how they celebrate Christmas.

She called onPatrick Murphy. "Tell me, Patrick, what does your family do at Christmastime?""Me and my twelve brothers and sisters go to the midnight Mass and we singhymns, then we come home very late and we put mince pies by the back door andhang up our stockings. Then, all excited, we go to bed and wait for FatherChristmas to come with all our toys.""Very nice, Patrick.

Betty Schmidt, what does your family do at Christmas?""My sister and I also go to Church with Mum and Dad and we sing carols and weget home ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up ourstockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents."

A Jewish boy had his hand in the air so the teacher asked Isaac Cohen, "Whatdoes your family do at Christmas?""It's the same thing every year. Dad comes home from the office. We all pileinto the Rolls Royce, then we drive to his toy factory. When we get inside, welook at all the empty shelves and sing 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus'. Thenwe all go to the Bahamas."

Merry Christmas Everybody!!
