Thanksgiving celebrations are complete;
families recuperate from their meals;
Black Friday tomorrow, cars line the street,
and shoppers at Wal-Mart looking for deals.
Neighborhoods adorned with bright colored lights;
families decorate their Christmas tree.
Everywhere you look you see festive sights;
folks out and about all looking carefree.
But there’s a disturbing trend going ‘round;
Christmas is not politicly correct.
Holiday season is the proper noun;
‘cause some are offended and will object.
In our country today I have no doubt;
we forgot what Christmas is all about.
