YOU CAN'T STEAL MY CHRISTMAS Poem by Sharon Steege I don't know who they are Saying I can't greet the crowd The way that I want to Can't say CHRISTMAS out loud. I walk into a business place See things that I rather not see But dare I not say CHRISTMAS And ask for a "holiday" tree. What happened to freedom of speech And living in the land of the free How can they take my CHRISTMAS money But can't say MERRY CHRISTMAS to me. Men and women have given their lives So we could still go free I wonder how they would feel At saying "HOLIDAY" TREE. Come on AMERICA let's wake up Don't let our freedom escape If they get by with doing this What else will they take. This is starting to get out of hand, And I've begun to keep track Well I've just about had enough I'M TAKING CHRISTMAS BACK. So MERRY CHRISTMAS AMERICA I hope this gets all over the net If we all stand united and take freedom back 'Twill be our best CHRISTMAS YET! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

Well, the holiday of xmas was stolen from previous cultures, and the pagans were often banned by the churches from celebrating their Winter Solstice, and other important holidays that were around for 50,000 years before the alleged birth of christ. What goes around, comes around. Happy Winter Solstice! ----- Original Message ----- From: Dee Jarden <deejarden@hotmail.com> Date: Thursday, December 15, 2005 10:36 am Subject: [CHASE-L] Unidentified subject! > > > > > YOU CAN'T STEAL MY CHRISTMAS > > > > > > Poem by Sharon Steege > > I don't know who they are > Saying I can't greet the crowd > The way that I want to > Can't say CHRISTMAS out loud. > > I walk into a business place > See things that I rather not see > But dare I not say CHRISTMAS > And ask for a "holiday" tree. > > What happened to freedom of speech > And living in the land of the free > How can they take my CHRISTMAS money > But can't say MERRY CHRISTMAS to me. > > Men and women have given their lives > So we could still go free > I wonder how they would feel > At saying "HOLIDAY" TREE. > Come on AMERICA let's wake up > Don't let our freedom escape > If they get by with doing this > What else will they take. > > This is starting to get out of hand, > And I've begun to keep track > Well I've just about had enough > I'M TAKING CHRISTMAS BACK. > > So MERRY CHRISTMAS AMERICA > I hope this gets all over the net > If we all stand united and take freedom back > 'Twill be our best CHRISTMAS YET! > > MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

This is a genealogy site. Let's keep it that way and not screw it up with miscellaneous unrelated garbage.
