A different gospel The According To St Once upon a time God lived at the North Pole He wanted little boys and girls to be happy and have lots of good times But if they wanted toys they had to be good So God sent a spaceman to tell the shepherds not to be afraid because even hough Santa Claus was coming to town Herod was going to kill all the little babies Next week on the television net work the three wisemen watched the baby Jesus coming to earth In a spaceship that was so bright it looked like a star They followed the spaceship for a long time But they didn t get tired because they came In a sled that was drawn by three camels named and and Blitien and the sled went jingle jingle Jingle all the way The noise frightened the shepherd sheep and the pilot leaned out of the spaceship to tell Ihe shepherds not to spank their sheep because this would make them sore afraid He said that if they went to the Bethlehem Steel Com they could see Jesus in a manger with an electric light bulb in it to keep the baby from getting cold But the baby in the manger was only a doll so it didn matter The kings finally got there and had presents for the baby One had some gold from Fort Knox and another king named Frank Incense gave Jesus murr or something The shepherds didn I see the spacemen anymore but they decked the hall where Jesus was with boughs of holly so that if bad Herod went there he would prick his finger and die But Santa got down the chimney before Herod had a dream and left a bowlful of jelly for Mary and Joseph because they get into the hotel for supper Mary was great with child so she was the babysitter while Joseph went to the garage Then they look a trip to the desert so Jesus could play with the sand toys Santa Claus had left and then Santa Claus gave them a tide over the Red Sea in his sleigh so that the Egyptians drown them Then God went back to the North Pole until next Christmas and took off his red suit and made more toys But It always Christmas Tor Dad if he gets a carton of filter cigarettes that draw better than all the other leading brands Impartial tests show And the shepherds were late getting back to their flocks because they were keeping their watch by night and see what time it said But they left a special message for us about telling Mom to go down to the friendly neighborhood grocer and buy a giant economy size box of Zuz with a plastic wind up angel inside ab solutely free complete with launching platform Since Jesus gave presents to all the animals we ought to give presents even to our aunts and uncles He liked all the animals in the manger because they were wearing swaddling clothes to keep warm and there was a donkey and a cow and a horse and two sheep and a bear and a lion and a hippopotamus and a pushmepullyou
