A Christmas carol which candidly sticks closely to and celebrates the biblical nativity story...

(this means you can sing & share this, if you mention my name...)

At only thirteen, she became his bride,
Looking forward to their wedding night.
She knew Joe loved her, but he couldn’t perform,
Though he tried with all his might.

So Maria sought comfort from someone older,
And, my God, He was old as the hills!
Though she knew it was cheating, it felt reassuring.
But she didn’t have birth control pills.

And this is the greatest story of all.
One to celebrate this time of year.
Let our voices bring candor, till the heavens ring, and
Our hearts will be filled with cheer.

Nine months later, she was blessed with a son,
In a shed behind an inn.
The cuckold Joe and his cheating wife
Proudly watched over him.

Three other guys came by to visit,
And brought some fancy stuff.
Joe made sure they were never alone with his wife.
He felt that he’d had enough.

Yes, this is the greatest story of all.
One to celebrate this time of year.
Let our voices bring candor, till the heavens ring, and
Our hearts will be filled with cheer.

Our hearts will be filled with cheer.
