bells, don't be homesfck. Think

scenes as these that our Lord was
born. The sands of the desert
were white as coral rock. The sun
in the day was hot and brilliant.
Palm trees swayed all round, and
just such a sky as ours, studded
with stars smiled on a stable that

the Pet Shop could supply one if

pine for other lands. This is Key
West and it's Christmas time again.
