Bob Shaw
“Don’t Forget The Christ In Christmas”
Short Story about the song from Bob Shaw:
When I was about 10 years old I went to a catholic school. I remember a
nun named Sister Maureen, who was very upset about how some people
were spelling the word Christmas. “It’s the work of the devil” she
exclaimed. “It’s Blasphemy,” to spell Christmas Xmas, leaving out the
word Christ in Christmas. A few years later while attending a Christmas
mass, the priest was complaining that his congregation was getting too
carried away with Christmas shopping and we’re straying away from the true meaning of
Christmas. And so later that day I wrote a rather light hearted song about trying to remember the
true meaning of Xmas. Err I mean Christmas.

Once again it’s come again that happy time of year
When everyone’s rejoicing and in the Christmas spirit
So come on everybody sing along, lets sing a happy song
A song that spells Christmas it’s a word that’s very long
C is for the candles that decorate the windows
H is for the holly hanging on the doors
R stands for Rudolph that famous old reindeer
I is for the illions of presents you get
S could only be for Santa
T is for the Christmas tree
M is for the mistletoe and
A stands for Angels, finally how could we forget thatS stands for Frosty The Snowman
(Jolly Old Soul)
They all spell Christmas that happy time of year
But haven’t we forgotten something very, very dear

Don’t forget the Christ in Christmas
Old Saint Nick he’s break down and cry
C is for Christ, he’s why there is a Christmas
H is for The Holiness all the season through
R is for rejoicing of the newborn King
