C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S

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 diff'rent
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 shepherds came

And that's why there's a Christmas Day
