here's a carol for ya! (and a bob and a ted and an alice...)

[lagilman]

GOD REST YE, UNITARIANS

God rest ye, Unitarians, let nothing you dismay
Remember there’s no evidence
There was a Christmas Day
When Christ was born is just not known
No matter what they say

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,
Glad tidings of reason and fact.

Our current Christmas customs come
From Persia and from Greece
From solstice celebrations of the ancient Middle East
This whole darn Christmas spiel is just
Another pagan feast

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,
Glad tidings of reason and fact.

There was no star of Bethlehem
There was no angels’ song
There could not have been wise men
For the trip would take too long
The stories in the Bible are historically wrong

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,
Glad tidings of reason and fact.

Tune: God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen
Words: Hymns for the Cerebration of Strife
