Jesus; he is Christ and he’s what Christmas is about Jests and silly little jokes, some atheists will tout Tests on shrouds would later prove a little inconclusive. Tents would be too public for an imminent exclusive Rents agreed for stabling when the virgin birth was due Rants from Joseph, “Who’s this man who laid his hands on you?” Mants inflict the Scot as statue’s eyes in blood do run Manta rays glide ’neath the waves, where all life had begun Santa, flies the skies above till Christmas Eve is done [Mants = Stammers (primarily Scots)]

Thanks, Jan. I tried a zillion start and end words and settled on Jesus and Santa, expecting to give up. Got really stuck on ‘Mants’ or ‘Ranta’… until Google obligingly announced that ‘Mant’ and, hence, ‘Mants’ was an actual word. However… I never ever thought I would one day ask Google…. If the bible mentioned tents ;-)
