Insprired by the disparate elements found on certain Christmas cards I'm writing a new Christmas son (Carol?) to help explain that the nativity and the modern fesive celebration aren't the same thing. I'm happy if you want to help. (but i'm retaing the rights!) If you have a group of children to sing it and put it on youtube even better.
[i]The Caaaaaamel and the Christmas tree
mean very different things to me
The camel comes from Jerusalem
but the spruce is really Norwegian
They didn't have the smell of pine
in the deserts of old Palestine
I don't know how happy I would be
dashing through the snow, on a dromedary
The gifts from very long ago
weren't wrapped in paper and a bow
the old time folk of the middle east
wouldn't have a turkey for their feast
The Camel and the Christmas tree
don't have compatibility
The camel cant help pull a sleigh
with a sad hot reindeer in the way[/i]
[i]A sled ride wouldn't bring much glee
on the rocky roads of Galilee
The camel and the Christmas tree
basic inconsistency
mulitcoloured fairy lights
aren't like the stars on Christmas night
When they sang about the manger bare
they meant there were no baubles there[/i]
Genius!
King Herod and all his minions
were olive skinned Palestinians
They sought a white skinned, blue eyed baby
D'you think they all were racists, maybe?
