I like everything about Christmas and this song is for the people who think the way we celebrate Christmas will offend other people.
It's a Trio, Me, Myself and I
Story behind the song
I've been reading articles about people trying to take the word "God" out of everything and how Christmas sayings, songs and decorations might offend other people. It's a shame it has come down to this. I feel if you don't like it, don't look and if you don't want to say it, don't say it.
Lyrics
Merry Christmas
(Jim Russ)
It’s a joyous time and a crying shame
There’s people who just don’t feel the same
And some are legally trying to stop us from saying “Merry Christmas”
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Hope you rent a movie and it just won’t play
Your car won’t start on the coldest day
Ruining this time for those who believe
No Jesus, no Santa, no Christmas Eve, no way
Decorate a tree and make it shine bright
Let’s go downtown to see the Christmas lights
To those people trying to stop us from saying “Merry Christmas”
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
We don’t mean to offend, just keeping it alive
Children waiting for Santa to arrive
If you don’t want to see it just look away
But it’s loving, giving and Christmas day, Christmas day
This Christmas spirit we’ve come to know
Singing these songs from long ago
To those people trying to stop us from saying “Merry Christmas”
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Here comes Santa Clause riding in his sleigh
Children dreaming at night
Here comes Santa Clause on his way
Bringing gifts before it’s light
This Christmas spirit we’ve come to know
Bringing us together and loving it so
Shame on those trying to stop us from saying “Merry Christmas”
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
