"C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S" lyrics
(originally by Eddy Arnold)
When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
Then one cold December, my mama 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
And 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
A is for all He stands for
S means shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day
And that's why there's a Christmas Day
Christmas meant one thing
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
Then one cold December, my mama 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
And 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
A is for all He stands for
S means shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day
And that's why there's a Christmas Day
