A Pagan's Christmas Prayer

Dear Lord, please enlighten those who are too busy complaining about your absence in the season to enjoy your presence. It's not their fault, they're just so desperately searching for you that they don't know that you can't be chased off that easily. Perhaps if they can realize this, they can get back to the whole "Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Men" thing.

I don't know if you're on speaking terms with the Pagan Goddess, but I don't think she minds you celebrating love and compassion around the time of the Solstice too. The more the merrier, we have plenty of pumpkin pie for everyone. Allah just seems confused that the rest of us need a special day for it. I tried asking Buddha about it, but he just smiled and gave me a candy cane. I'll take that as agreement, I'm not sure. Quan Yin liked it, though.

There was no one to ask about Festivus, but I have a sneaky feeling that you're behind that too. I don't think anyone minds the Atheists joining the celebration, and if they're that convinced that you don't exist I don't think they'll know you're there... so... that shouldn't be a problem.

But if you're cool with everyone enjoying each other's company and helping everyone else be happy in the Holiday Season too, I'll work with you on it. I'll even work to help the people who don't get it yet. Oh, and the holiday's name is not important to me if it's not to you. Christ can stay in it, since he's helping spread the cheer too.

I'm not Christian, so I won't sign your son's name to this. I'm asking for everyone anyway, you know that.
Amen.

I prefer;

Ohhhh shit, please don't
burn us all
or hang us from a treee-ee

We just want to cel e brate
and spread our own Christ-mas cheer

so let's all grab a beer, grab a beer, grab a beer
and try not to commit genocide against a smaller religious group


I may need to work on it.


It's close to finished though.



Moments of work went into it.
