Why is Good King Wenceslas spending Christmas in Chicago?

Because Christ wasn't invited.

School's inclusive Christmas excludes Christ
Chicago Tribune, December 6, 2004

Extract:

"When Norman learned about the holiday programs at Spring Grove Elementary, he issued a press release Friday targeting the school and warning against "discriminatory practices for people of faith."

"The program has cleansed itself of all references to Jesus and the Christmas story," Norman said of the Spring Grove pageants. "None of the other religions had their songs affected."

Norman painted Spring Grove as an example of a school so skittish about offending anyone that it has diminished Christmas and Christians--claims criticized and disputed by the school and its district superintendent.
..................
"The songs associated with Christmas on Wednesday were such favorites as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Thursday's lineup included "Good King Wenceslas," a traditional Christmas song about helping the poor."

heh, good try, but no...

umm, something about Steven's feet?

Because he's taking food and wine to St. Agnes' Fountain and St. Agnes' Fountain, the celebrated British "acoustic carols" performers, have a gig in Chicago at Christmas.

Well, Chi-town is famous for something deep and crisp, isn't it?

So he can look out on the feast of Stevens on December 26th?

my downsideup bro is on the ball as ever...

He's after a pizza: Deep Pan, crisp and even :)

Season's groans to all and bundry!

Good King Wenceslas Pizza
Deepan crisp and even

That's not just a joke, Maverick. That's a brilliant marketing idea. They could sponsor soup and pizza kitchens on the day after Christmas and make headlines all over the country.

Deep and crisp and even [better than the rest].

We're so "good" we want to share it with everybody.

Good joke, Mav'. Made me think of Lamb sea toat san' goat sea toat san' little lamb sea tivey... Can't recall how the lines are actually spelled out, but you get the idea.

Just for the record... everything in McHenry County (Spring Grove) is trying to stay as far away from Chicago and 'deep and crispy' as possible... and it's working.

Mairzy doats and doazy doats and little lamzy divy,
A kiddledy divy too, wooden shoe.

Or something like that.

If these things keep you up at night, like they do me...

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
We don't eat mares and we don't eat does but we do eat lambs with gravy.
