- The following song was rehearsed (though not, alas,
- performed) by a choral group at the Unitarian church in Richmond
- VA. Maybe next year...

- GOD REST YE UNITARIANS
- (Author Unknown)
-
- 1. God rest ye, Unitarians,
- Let nothing you dismay!
- Remember that there is no proof
- There was a Christmas Day
- For Christmas really started as
- A pagan holiday.
-
- Oh, glad tidings of reason and fact,
- Reason and fact.
- Glad tidings of reason and fact.
-
- 2. No wise men traveled from the East,
- The journey's far too long.
- There were no shepherds in the fields,
- The time of year's all wrong;
- We don't believe in angels;
- That rules out the angels' song!
-
- (Chorus)
-
- 3. We're too sophisticated to
- Believe in tales so old.
- We know that human avarice means
- Too much bought and sold;
- We only celebrate because
- This season is so cold.
-
- (Chorus)
