“As yummy
as a mug of hot cocoa . . .
As tantalizing
as a kiss under the mistletoe . . .”
“Written in 1643 by
Father Jean de Brebeuf,
a Jesuit missionary,
as a uniquely North American
alternative to the Nativity story.”
“For I would make a memorial of that Child
who was born in Bethlehem . . .”
~ Saint Francis
