Cartoon of Scrooge and the ghost of Jacob Marley. Marley says, “You will be visited by three spirits: The Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas present, and Ghost of Christmas Mall Music.”
Christmas mall music has been vexing me lately. It’s a lot of cheer without the babe in the manger. Christmas music without Christ is vain, fluffy and nonsensical… much like the rest of the mall.
Cartoon of two choir members. One says, “We have to do something about these old, smelly choir robes. No matter how many times I wash mine, my dog still wants to roll around on it.”
Cartoon of a group of Christmas carolers. They’re singing, “Deck the Halls With fiscal Slowness, fa-la-la-la-la-a-a, La-la-la-la! Please give us our Year End Bonus…”

Cartoon of a man and giant frog. The man says, “Welcome to our choir. We needed a good, strong bass.”
Cartoon of two men in choir robes. One holds a Bible and says, “As a new choir member, you must take an oath that you will never appear on ‘American Idol.’”
