take away the Christmas tree
strip away all of the holly
take away all of the mistletoe
and everything that we know
take away santa clause and his reindeer
take away the traditions that you hold dear
take away the decarations and the cookies
strip away the presents that we recieve
and what do you have left
Chorus
Jesus
the real joy of Christmas
everything else isn't important
like how much money there is spent
what really matters during this holiday
is Jesus, it is Jesus birthday
so wish him a happy birthday
take away the lights in the window
take away every inch of the snow
take away the shopping thrills
and take away the credit card bills
take away the star on top of the tree
strip away the spirit of give me give me
take away the commercialism of it all
take away every santa sitting in every mall
and what do you have left
chorus
so get on your knees and tell him you love him
and thank him for being born to die for your sin
tell him you hope he has a happy birthday
I dare you to take a break from the earthly things
chorus
Unfortunately, too many people forget the true meaning of Christmas. I say Happy Birthday Jesus! I remember the true meaning of Christmas...Pam
