The War On Christmas

I thought all would be calm
all would be bright
but a war still rages on
right here at home
Happy Holidays, even though
there are dozens of them
is not sufficient
The day is Christmas
and that is that
We won't be lulled to sleep
by the C in Chanukah
Or the mysteries of Kwanza
We don't want our Christmas
mixed up with all that
That's what our fighting men and women
have been fighting for
Or something like it
The War on Christmas will not have
as many casualties
Just some bruised egos
and hurt feelings
Just like Boxing Day after
and Black Friday before
And a memory of the good Doctor
Doctor Seuss:
"He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming
it came just the same"
Happy Christmas
The War is Over
