The Lyrics

Please don't shelve my merry little Christmas.
What gives you the right?
First amendment crumbles,
'Cause you're so uptight.

Have yourself a merry little Kwanza,
And if your pride's gay.
We don't give you trouble,
Celebrate your way.

How you got to these bolden ways?
Now you're holdin' ways hardcore.
Want to end what is dear to us,
Why's there fear from us, what for?

Stow your fears,
Why can't we live together?
Keep your sacred cow,
Stop you're whining, we're
Not beatin' on your brow.
Look at yourself,
And let us have our Christmas now.

Why such fear of the olden ways?
Won't be foldin' ways, for sure.
We'll defend what is dear to us,
What you fear is just obscure.

Stow your fears,
Why can't we live together?
Keep your sacred cow,
Stop you're whining, we're
Not beatin' on your brow.
Look at yourself,
And let us have our Christmas now.

This mirrors--though is a much better read than--an op-ed piece in yesterday SF Chronicle, entitled "Say 'Merry Christmas': Wishing others 'happy holidays' is white noise."

I live in an area where Eid and Hanukah are celebrated as well as Christmas, so I understand.

No coal in Guy's stocking. So far.

Well Guy, your "war on Christmas" song got a much more generous reception than mine. It was probably wise of you not to mention who it primarily is who whines about Christmas being oppressive, and has "such fear of the olden ways".

"I went to the dance with my friend," said Bryan Lafond, who is in seventh grade. "He had an elf hat on and we thought it was pretty cool. Everyone loved the suit, but when I went by the principal, he asked why I was dressed like that." Principal Fred Muscara said he told the boy he couldn't get into the dance because he was wearing the costume. "It was a holiday party," said Muscara. "It was not a Christmas party. There is a separation of church and state. We have a lot of students that go to Hampton Academy Junior High that have different religions. We have to be sensitive to that." http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/hampton/12212004/news/55149.htm
