A Christmas Faggot

A Christmas Faggot is a book of Poetry. It describes the fun and joy of Christmas festival. For my godchildren and my people I have made them up into a little bundle of sticks a Christmas faggot to feed the fires in the winter palace of our King. It is the Incarnation that justifies all joy, and song is the expression of joy. The Gospel Songs all celebrate the Great Nativity. Birth and marriage are the occasions most sacred to mirth and music among men; and Christmas is at once the Birthday and the Marriage Festival of Humanity. Glad and thankful shall I be if any song of mine should help to fan the flame of rejoicing love in any Christian heart at this holy and happy season.
