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

Jenny Lou Carson and Eddy Arnold

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
