Somehow I picture you dressed like Tiny Tim when you said that, M E M !
You’ve probably already covered the Legion from that 80’s special where Superboy has them look for the Christmas star but it’s one of my favorites with great Garcia Lopez artwork and an optimistic story where even though they didn’t get what they wanted they saved several races on a doomed planet. It touches on the Legion’s different religions and spiritual beliefs too.
The one from the
DC SPECIAL SERIES 21 Christmas Special?

The Legion one was also reprinted in the 1988
CHRISTMAS WITH THE SUPERHEROES special. Reprinting several great DC Christmas stories, all credited on the first page.
https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Christmas-With-the-Super-Heroes/Issue-1?id=88097#2 The Levitz Legion story is good too, I'm amazed how many writers doing these Christmas stories, across many issues, showed remarkable maturity in discussing life situations and religion at such a young age in these stories.
Wein and Wrightson were about 21 when they did the above linked HOUSE OF MYSTERY 191 story in 1971.
I think Levitz was about 25 when he did the Legion story you mentioned in Dec 1979. Before Levitz started working as an assistant editor and writer for DC (starting in 1973 or 1974) he was already owner and manager of THE COMIC READER fanzine for about 5 years, while he was still in high school ! These guys were all remarkably talented and ambitious, and most of them started working professionally in comics writing stories when they were still in high school.
Jim Shooter turned pro when he was only 13 !
THE COMIC READER was the most prominent comic news publication in the 1970's, and then kind of went the way of the brontosaurus when THE COMICS JOURNAL (1977) and AMAZING HEROES (1981) came along.
