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

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 set me down
And taught me to spell Christmas this way

C is for the Christ Child born upon this day
H's for Herald Angels in the night
R means our redeemer I means Israel
S is for the stars that shone so bright

(T is for three wise men, they who travelled far
M is for the manger where he lay)
A's for all he stands for, S means shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day

That's why there's a Christmas Day...
