<666> Well, here is Jingle Bells from "The Pushbutton Telephone
<666> Songbook, Vol. I":
<666> 
<666> 	6 6 6   6 6 6
<666> 	Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Don't any of you find it STRANGE that "Jingle Bells" is 666?
Ever notice that "Santa" is "Satan" spelled sideways?
And "Ho! Ho! Ho!" is almost "Hot! Hot! Hot!" which is what it's
like in Hell, not the north pole!
I mean, just the mere fact that this dude works on Christmas must
count for something. And he gives stuff away! For nothing!
Now think about all those movies you've seen where some guy gives
things away "for nothing". Always turned out to be the D-man, 
didn't it? And that red suit! Red like in BLOOD! And he rides
a "sleigh"! Those elves look pretty demonic to me too! What are
they called anyway? Satan's little helpers? I also have it on
good authority that Dasher's real name is Thrasher.
And "stockings by the fire?"  How about "stalking, then fire!"
Yeah, it'll be YOUR chestnuts roasting on that open fire! And
you can't spell "CHRIST! it's a MASs murderer!" without "Christmas".
Yuletide? Yeah, ever see Yul Brenner? Tell me THAT guy isn't
some sort of Lucifer minion.
Listen, just between you and me, maybe we ought to lay low until
this Christmas thing blows over. Don't want to take any chances.
