Christmas Day Celebrations

Christmas Day Celebrations
by Robert (Bob) Moore © 2015

Are we still a Christian country, free to celebrate our way
and call those celebrations, more than just a holiday
the 25th of December, was decided long ago
to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and it is still so

We should say Merry Christmas, not Happy Holiday
not let the PC people, and their ideologies hold sway
I call myself a Christian, though Religion is not my thing
but anyone who goes to church, then raise your voice and sing

Sing to God if you want to, and worship all you will
you have the right, you have the faith, you have the freedom still
to praise the way that you see fit, and do it your own way
and celebrate the birth of Christ, and call it Christmas Day

And while we are still a Christian country, to those who don’t believe
I say visit a Christian family, I am certain you’ll receive
A very warm welcome, on this their Holy Day,
 just as Jesus taught them, each one finds their own way

To practice Peace and Tolerance, toward your fellow man
no matter how he worships, and show him if you can
the meaning of the way you love The Christ in your own way
and why this day will never be, just another holiday.
