It was my twelfth birthday. After the celebration, I was in the study room, browsing the Internet on my computer. As I was browsing the Internet, I saw something that caught my attention. It was a heading that said, "Today is the 50th anniversary of when John Lennon 说 that the Beatles are 更多 流行的 than Jesus." I was curious. I thought, Is that why Father doesn't like the fact that Mother and I are Beatles fans? Now, I knew a bit about the Beatles. I knew that they were extremely 流行的 in the 60's. I knew that they were synonymous with the British Invasion. I knew about the Paul is Dead rumor. I knew they changed their appearance and musical style throughout the 60's. I also knew that they broke up in 1970 and went their separate ways, but I wished they would have stayed together. I knew that John was murdered on December 8, 1980, and I knew George died of cancer on November 29, 2001, two very sad days for Beatles fans. I never knew that John had 说 that the Beatles were 更多 流行的 than Jesus. Mother never told me that. I only know that we listened to the Beatles when Father wasn't around. Mother said, "This will be our secret, Ellie." I also knew that Father was a self-righteous, bible-thumping puritan. If he got angry with me, he would hit me with his bible. He was worse when he was drunk. He would beat me with his belt. It really hurt.

It was December 1. The members of New Religion were decorating their house in Oak Ridge for Christmas. Lola looked over at Klondike and said, "This is so exciting. This will be Klondike's first Christmas!" Carl said, "Yes, it is. I believe this also marks our third 圣诞节 in Oak Ridge." Erin said, "Yes. I can't believe it's been over three years since we came to Oak Ridge." Paul wasn't as excited. He said, "This is also our first 圣诞节 without Yukon and Nunavut." He sighed. Lola hugged him and said, "I know 你 miss your Huskies, but they would want 你 to enjoy Christmas." He said, "You're right. 你 know, I've been thinking that maybe we should do a 圣诞节 album. John and his mates do one every year." Erin said, "I like this idea." Carl said, "I do, too!" Lola said, "We should call it A New Religion Christmas." Paul said, "That has a nice ring to it, no pun intended." With that, they decided to reach out to John for guidance on how to make the perfect 圣诞节 album.
