Dirty Old Demon

From a 1990 tract from North Carolina that portrayed Santa Claus as the devil and reprinted in Santa Claus, A Biography by Gerry Bowler, published by McClelland & Stewart in 2005.

Ho! Ho! Ho!


 The devil has a demon,
His name is Santa Claus.
He’s a dirty old demon
 Because of last year’s flaws.
He promised Jack a yo-yo,
And Jill a diamond ring.
They woke up on Christmas morning
Without a single thing...


One day they’ll stand before God 
 Without their bag of tricks. 
 Without their red-nosed reindeer 
 Or their phony old Saint Nicks; 
 For Revelation twenty-one, 
 Verse eight, tells where they’ll go: 
 Condemned to everlasting hell, 
 Where there’ll be no Ho! Ho! Ho!
