When I saw the original, it inspired me and so I wrote another version of it and used in the 12/3/2010 sermon:

Twas The Month Before Christmas 

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

The reason for Christmas - no one really cared

For there was so little time to be spared.

Children were told by their schools not to sing
About Jesus and Shepherds and Wise Men and things.

”It might hurt people’s feelings,” so many would say
And besides, December 25th is just another ‘

All mangers and cretches were pulled from the streets.

So that none would know Jesus, nor Him even seek.

The atheists, the liberals, the militants too

All joined with politicians to rid of Jesus too.

And then in the Congress and courts rose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

The Christians remained silent, their faith made forbidden.
Forbidden to speak of His mercy, silent on His salvation,

The Jesus of Christmas was removed and discarded
And the reason for the season stopped before it even started.

The blue pill had been taken, devoured, swallowed whole.

And Jesus was forgotten so many lost souls.

Which pill will you take when Christmas appears.

The blue pill of cowardice or the red pill of faith?
