It seems there is some reason
Why we celebrate this season
But from all the lights and jingles
Frequent mentions of Kris Kringle
Seems that most folks now just don’t remember
There are other holidays now
That are mentioned (don’t offend now)
But I’m standing on my tiptoes
Shouting truth that everyone knows
If it weren’t for Christ it’d just be plain December

Every special day has place
But not one should be effaced
In the interests of “politically correct�
I’m just stating facts so I can stand erect
I’m proclaiming Christmas’ value in its roots
It’s enough to make us proud
In the holidaying crowd
I reserve the right to not offend
And you can “not offend� me, friend
If it’s Happy Hanukah, or Kwanzaa, too.

I will still say Merry Christmas
Whether you believe or not, that’s
Not a thing I’d know in passing,
Just a wish for all, a blessing.
Tell me what you wish and we will both rejoice
It’s a joy that comes each year
Through the trials and the tears
I’ll not stop telling those I see
That the Christ child set me free
And He offers every person that same choice.
