I saw Gritty kissing Santa Claus Standing out on Broaad Street in the snow It capsized my old frown To see St Nick get down The holidays, they have a way of turning him around. Cuz what Gritty gave to Santa Claus He needed badly at this time of year. It may sound controversial, but with his holiday so commercial, It took Gritty's kiss to bring that Christmas cheer! I heard Gritty telling Santa Claus You needn't be what others say you should. No more presents if you're not nice, Who needs hockey for a fist-fight? And while we fix your naughty list, let's give coal to all the alt-right. Guys! How sweet to see them both that way! Their beards entangled, all jingle-jangle and gay. They're not asking for absolution, In Gritty's kiss ... "I Taste the Revolution!" See a whole new Santa Claus on Christmas Day. I cheered Gritty kissing Santa Claus, the Zamboni driver he blushed and left the ice. There was no "war on Christmas," So leave those two to their business, with Gritty keeping Santa warm at night Gritty holding Santa Claus so tight... Gritty kissing Santa Claus that night. --- We support a Christmas and a sports mascot that champions radical inclusivity and an unabashed, Broad Street Bullies-esque opposition to any -ism or policy that limits or reduces the wonder and beauty of any human identity. Christmas means the smashing of binaries, the embrace of diversity, and a wild-eyed body check of any haters in our way.
