"Keep the 'Christ' in Christmas,"
you say. I say to you,
"Take the 'Christ' from Christmas,
and take the 'mas' out too."
Eliminate the carols.
Remove the ho ho ho's.
Spare the lovely evergreens.
Extinguish Rudolph's nose.
But leave behind the part I like,
the holiday's main payoff:
let each December twenty-fifth
remain a sacred day off.
