You know those questions that you get Like why is the sky blue? The ones you can not answer But, try to pass off that you do Well I got one the other day My son came up and said What with Jesus and with Christmas I told him...go to bed! It's only three o'clock he said Well...then...go and ask your mom Dad, I already asked her and you're where she said to come I thought, my god, she owes me now So, I told him, grab a seat I figured I'd go down in flames But, I'd fight in my defeat He said, all the Christmas specials talk of Christmas and that stuff But, Rudolph, Garfield, Frosty well, I think I've watched enough Some talk of baby Jesus Others talk of shops and toys Why is Jesus linked to Christmas And I answered him.....with poise Jesus Christ, the son of God came to earth in all his Glory Now, go and read you bible The games on...read the story He trundled off, I thought I'd won In an hour he returned With that face, you know the one I mean Dad...there's something that I learned If Jesus Christ and Christmas are tied together, as we see Did they celebrate on Christmas Day Before Christ turned thirty three? I mean, was it Christmas for a reason Or did it start once he was dead? I thought, that's a good question And it came from my boy's head His mother brought hot chocolate She still owed me, and she knew that whatever payback I devised would be multiplied by two I said, son, the idea of true Christmas gifts Dates to 313 A.D Back to someone called Saint Nicholas Santa Claus to you and m The wise men came with presents To celebrate the ****** birth They celebrated the fact that God had sent his son to earth So, what does that have to do with snoopy Rudolph, Jack Frost, my son said I told him, read your bible The story's there, no go to bed He smiled and he hugged me He said I think I know one part It's that Christmas isn't presents It's something you feel in your heart It's a spirit of goodwill to man And to all who you may meet I said, yep...that's it You've summed it up, maybe I should have a seat So, Christmas isn't retail, It can't be bought, it has no box It's a feeling deep within you though...this year I need some socks It may have his name attached But, true Christmas is defined By our love for one another and the love for all mankind
