THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
Santa Claus Addresses the Troops
Boys! 
This is Santa Claus 
Speaking to you 
On the Eve of 
Christmas 
The year of our Lord 
2002 
Even though you no longer 
Believe in me 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
Not so long ago 
I used to bring you 
Gifts 
On Christmas Eve 
Until you stopped 
Believing
 |   
 
Now 
I speak to you 
On the eve 
Of a great battle 
Perhaps the spark 
That lights the 
Tinder box 
That ignites the 
Conflagration 
That incinerates the 
Whole wide world 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
And 
I speak to you 
On the eve 
Of the 
Commemorative birthday 
Of our Messiah
 |   
 
Those people 
Those "ragheads" 
Don't believe in Him 
They say 
He wasn't 
Christ 
And for that 
They must die! 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
Yes 
Holy War 
And you 
Are the 
Soldiers of Christ 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
But 
Captain America 
Did not send 
Santa Claus 
To speak to you 
About 
Holy War 
For that 
He should send 
The Pope 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
No 
Captain America 
Sent me to speak 
To you 
Because I am 
The symbol 
Of Christmas 
And that is what 
This war is about: 
The True Spirit of Christmas
 |   
 
Christmas today 
Is about 
Buying things 
And that's what made 
America great 
Buying things! 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
The American Dream: 
Buying things 
Depends on the 
Availability 
Of one thing 
In this world: 
Cheap oil
 |   
 
We don't have 
Enough 
Cheap oil 
In America 
But we do have 
Soldiers of Christ! 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
And while you are 
Over here 
Fighting for 
The American Dream 
Your loved ones 
At home 
Are buying things 
Many, many things 
I know 
Because 
I have to 
Deliver them! 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
In fact 
The goods 
In my little sleigh 
Represent 
Half of the 
Retail profits 
For the entire year 
So I come to you 
As your prophet 
Your prophet 
Of retail profits! 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
Boys! 
You need not 
Believe 
In Santa Claus 
To be a good soldier 
Of Christ 
But you must 
Believe 
In Christmas 
That is 
The True Spirit of Christmas
 |   
 
As you know 
Jesus Christ 
Was not born 
Tomorrow 
In the dead of 
Winter 
Boys! 
You know 
Jesus Christ 
Was born 
At harvest time 
At the end of 
Summer
 |   
 
But 
The Romans used to 
Throw a festival 
Each year 
At about this time 
They called it: 
Saturnalia 
It began on 
The Winter Solstice 
The shortest day 
Of the year 
And ran several days
 |   
 
During 
Saturnalia 
A bunch of 
Pagans 
Did unspeakable things 
With other 
Pagans 
In the streets 
To welcome 
The rebirth 
Of the sun
 |   
 
We didn't like 
The sun 
Getting all that 
Attention 
So we 
Obliterated 
Their holiday 
Adopted their 
Rituals 
And called it 
Christmas 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
Rebirth 
Of the sun 
Became 
Birth 
of the Son 
Get it?
 |   
 
So in 
The True Spirit of Christmas 
Obliterate these 
Pagans 
Take their 
Cheap oil 
Go home 
And buy things! 
Live the American Dream! 
Ho, ho, ho!
 |   
 
On behalf of 
Captain America 
On behalf of 
The Pope 
On behalf of 
Our consumers 
And on behalf of 
Good little Christian 
Boys and girls 
All across America 
I thank you 
And wish you a 
Very Merry Christmas 
Now 
Go get those bastards! 
Ho, ho, ho!
