Hilaire Belloc's Christmas card

#

I pray good beef and I pray good beer This holy night of all the year, But I pray detestable drink to them That give no honour to Bethlehem.

May all good fellows that here agree Drink audit ale in heaven with me, And may all my enemies go to hell! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!

May all my enemies go to hell! Noel! Noel!
