We all know that one day a year
When the folks are all jolly with holiday cheer
The icon of this special time of year
Not Santa Claus, with the white flowing beard
But Jesus Christ,
He who paid the price
Although we have been convinced
Christmas was stolen from a religion people were against
December 25th, the night to remember
Was a Pagan holiday, reserved for December
Hoping for the conversion of all
The Pagan holiday took the fall
Now we celebrate this one day a year
Filling our hearts with the holiday cheer
But when you praise Jesus, just remember
Those poor Pagans on the 25th of December
When the folks are all jolly with holiday cheer
The icon of this special time of year
Not Santa Claus, with the white flowing beard
But Jesus Christ,
He who paid the price
Although we have been convinced
Christmas was stolen from a religion people were against
December 25th, the night to remember
Was a Pagan holiday, reserved for December
Hoping for the conversion of all
The Pagan holiday took the fall
Now we celebrate this one day a year
Filling our hearts with the holiday cheer
But when you praise Jesus, just remember
Those poor Pagans on the 25th of December
Author notes
Many people do not know that Jesus Christ was indeed not born in December (if you believe that he exists). When the Roman royalty was converted from Paganism to Christianity, they chose the 25th of December (the Pagan holiday "Yule") in hopes that the Pagans would convert to Christianity. The same is true for Easter (besides the date).
