Dead Boys, A Vicar and Ham


Bad enough the vicar telling little kids there is no Santa  but scaring the Bejaysus out of them? That's something else!
Every year we get one killjoy with the same old tale - there is no Father Christmas, despite billions of pounds worth of evidence to the contrary. It's a drag, but hey ho, we can live with those. 
But Rev Simon Tatton Brown was not content with causing a few tears. Oh no, he wants them screaming in their beds until the bright day dawns too. He told wide-eyed babes that St Nicholas is thought to have raised from the dead three young boys pickled in a barrel by a wicked butcher who was planning to sell them as ham.
Ham! That's Christmas dinner ruined as well then, as well as God knows how many packed lunches! What possessed the man? Scrooge at least kept his ghosts to himself, this idiot is filling infants' heads with images of dead boys dripping vinegar roaming their rooms. These men of the Church have a lot to answer for.
