C‐H‐R‐I‐S‐T‐M‐A‐S Songtext
von 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 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, is 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

That's why there's a Christmas Day
