  One Christmas Eve, a frenzied young man ran into a pet shop
  looking for an unusual Christmas gift for his wife. The shop
  owner suggested a parrot, named Chet, which could sing famous
  Christmas carols. This seemed like the perfect gift. "How do I
  get him to sing?" The young man asked, excitedly. "Simply hold a
  lighted match directly under his feet." was the shop owner's
  reply. The shop owner Chet began to sing: "Jingle Bells! Jingle
  Bells! ..." The shop owner then held another match under the
  parrot's right foot. Then Chet's tune changed, and the air was
  filled with: " Silent Night. Holy Night..."
  
  The young man was so impressed that he paid the shop-keeper and
  ran home as quickly as he could with Chet under his arm. When
  the wife saw her gift she was overwhelmed. "How beautiful!" She
  exclaimed, "Can he talk?" "No," the young man replied, "But he
  can sing. Let me show you." So the young man whipped out his
  lighter and placed it under Chet's left foot, as the shop-keeper
  had shown him, and Chet crooned: "Jingle Bells! Jingle
  Bells!..." The man then moved the lighter to Chet's right foot,
  and out came: "Silent Night. Holy Night..."
  
  The wife, her face filled with curiosity, then asked, "What if
  we hold the lighter between his legs?" The man did not know.
  "Let's try it." He answered, eager to please his wife. So they
  held the lighter between Chet's legs. Chet twisted his face,
  cleared his throat, the little parrot sang out loudly (like it
  was the performance of his life): "Chet's nuts roasting on an
  open fire...."

  As for the Christian politicians in the corridors of power, the reason why most of them associate themselves with the Christian faith is not about their Biblical faith, but for cheap political gains. By the way, if Jesus came back to earth to celebrate the Yuletide with us, I wonder what Jesus would have made of our Christian politicians without Christian values reading, preaching and singing in his name.
  
  Merry Christmas to all Ghanaians and to all Ghanaweb forumers, especially, Nyansasem, Kofi Ata, Okatakyie Sarpong, Danny Boy, and Lola Washington, if she's still alive.
