Mistletoe and Christmas

Mistletoe and Christmas go hand in hand The mistletoe and its beautiful cherries Christmas carols and bells, bright stars and pine trees With light snowfall can create a winter wonderland. What a spectacle of lights and divine beauty The whole world celebrates awesomely The birthday of Jesus Christ born in Africa What a shock for the entire Diaspora! Baby Jesus was different, that’s why From the crèche they wanted to sacrifice and crucify Him, their goal was to kill Him like a goat Which they did, but He returned. It’s time to gloat. The Messiah can be a subject of controversies Deceptions, propaganda, polemics and inconsistencies Oh! This is Noël, let’s rejoice and enjoy the feasts At least and at last in this joyous season, let’s live in peace.
