I found an email someone printed out and left at work about the woes of today's world.  Specifically, how Christmas is being edited out of the public sphere.  It begins with a personal story from the original sender.

Moms (& Dads)-

Vote me off the island if you like, but I wanted to share a brief story.  My kids are so excited about their choir concert tonight, and for weeks I have been troubled by one of t;he songs they are singing to celebrate the holiday season.  You know the song, "Here We Come A-Caroling."  They sing, "...love and joy come to you and to friends and family, too,  and we wish you and send you a Happy New Year, and we send you a Happy New Year..."  The problem I have with this song is that when I sang it in High School choir, the song went, "love and joy come to you and to you glad Christmas, too,  and GOD BLESS YOU and send you a Happy New Year."  When did it become okay to take God out of a Christmas song?

So, I thought it appropriate to remember season with a (gulp!) forward to help everyone here to remember the purpose of this season.  I didn't check it out on Snopes, but I know that the words to this poem ring true.
