First Line: Not nicholas, with bulging pack
Last Line: Bringer of christ, st. Christopher!
Subject(s): Christopher, Christoper (3d Century)
Not Nicholas, with bulging pack
Upon his broad and kindly back;
Not Santa by the chimney side,
The eager stockings satisfied;
Not Kriss, the judge of bad and good
In all the merry neighborhood;
Not these, in spite of all men say,
Shall rule as saint our Christmas day;
But he who bore, as poets dream,
The Christ across a raging stream,
He shall our Christmas gifts confer;
Bringer of Christ, St. Christopher!
