So what do you think, Father?
Is there something new we could do?
Well, we all love the Christmas hymns,
but it might be jolly to include a secular song.
Secular?
Yes. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Something like that.
What would be the point of a secular song?
Just fun.
Or Frosty the Snowman.
That's a good one.
We could have one of the boys dress up as a snowman, dance around.
Which boy?
We'd do tryouts.
Frosty the Snowman espouses a pagan belief in magic.
The snowman comes to life when an enchanted hat is put on his head.
If the music were more somber,
people would realize the images are disturbing and the song heretical.
I never thought about Frosty the Snowman like that.
It should be banned from the airwaves.
So, not Frosty the Snowman.
Oh, It's Beginning To Look like...
A Lot Like Christmas would be fine, I suppose.
Parents would like it.
May I ask what you're writing down with that ballpoint pen?
Oh, nothing. It's an idea for a sermon.
Oh. You had one right now?
I get them all the time.
How fortunate.
I forget them, so I have to write them down.
- What is the idea? - Intolerance.
- Would you like a little more tea, Father? - Not yet.
It's a new time, Sister.
What's new about it?
Something inside of people is new.
There is nothing new under the sun.
The Church needs to change.
We should sing a song from the radio now and then,
take the kids out for ice cream.
Sweet tooth.
And maybe take the boys on a camping trip.
