When I was but a youngster, Christmas meant one thing

That I’d be getting lots of toys that day

I learned a whole lot different when mother sat me down

And taught me to spell Christmas this way

C is for the Christ child born upon this day

H for herald angels in the night

R means our redeemer

I means Israel

S is for the star that shone so bright

T is for three wise men, they who traveled far

M is for the manger where He lay

A is for all He stands for

S means Shepard’s came

And that’s why there’s a Christmas day

T is for three wise men, they who traveled far

M is for the manger where He lay

A is for all He stands for

S means Shepard’s came

And that’s why there’s a Christmas day

And that’s why there’s a Christmas day
