One of my favourites this time of year is from an album by The called Bells of Dublin. This was sung at a show I was at last night & this verse hit me afresh:

“Once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should seize us
But if any one of us should interfere
In the business of why there are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus.”
