cbs 20121225 CHRISTMAS

Where’s the war?

Here it is Christmas, joy fills the air
Along with critiques of Wayne La Pierre

And under the mistletoe people are kissing 
(Yet I) can’t help but notice that something seems… missing!

Look high and low, and then look some more, 
The one thing you don’t seem to find is the War.

I woke up this morning and exclaimed to the Missus
My gosh, what became of this year’s war on Christmas?

The big day is here and I’ve not heard a thing
So I got up and logged on to Google and Bing

And after several attempt, I got a hit finally:
A one-month-old rant from my pal Bill O’Reilly

TAPE:

But seriously, that was all I could find
And compared to past ydears, it was pretty benign

In Christmases past it was really big news
How cities and states would always refuse

To allow a creche here, a nativity there
That Jesus had disappeared into thin air

Charges were flying in every direction
God had to turn to the courts for protection.

There was still one place with a loud call to arms
A website that’s called WarOnChristmas.com

But I scanned the site once, then I scanned it again
And the most recent update was in 2010

I think the war’s over, and I think Christmas won
Sure it’s religious, but it’s just too much fun.

I see people worshipping, I see people buyin’
And note: we’ve completely forgotten the Mayans!

The churches are packed, and so are the stores
The sacred and secular both are adored.

The sacred and secular, the church and the mall
 Can coexist peacefully, within us all.

The poor War on Christmas – it’s goose has been cooked.
At least ‘till O’Reilly can write a new book.
