Whose Birthday Is Christmas?

(album: Christmas Present - 1985)

One December Sunday morning after church
I was walking to my car and I heard a little boy say

Oh daddy just who's birthday is Christmas
The Bible says that Jesus was born
Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because
You hear so much about Santa Clause

Silver bells and ceder smells don't tell the story
Of the virgin and the manger where He lay
Festive drinks and glasses klinks will not make Jesus
Proud to say that this is His birthday

Oh daddy just who's birthday is Christmas
The Bible says that Jesus was born
Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because
You hear so much about Santa Clause

In Sunday school we read the Christmas story
Saint Nick will come next week so we are told
It's hard to understand in a big peoples land
Especially if you're six years old

Oh daddy just who's birthday is Christmas
The Bible says that Jesus was born
Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because
You hear so much about Santa Clause

It's hard to understands in a big peoples land
Especially if you're six years old
