“There’s No X In Christmas”

There’s no “X” in Christmas, it sounds absurd to even say
Let’s keep the Christ in Christmas, and in our hearts this Holy day
If you believe in Jesus, make mention His first day
Let’s keep the Christ in Christmas, and in our hearts this Christmas day
Shop windows and billboard signs greet with merry X-mas ....
Have we lost or just misplaced what the real Christmas is all about?
If you believe in Jesus, make mention His first day
Let's keep the Christ in Christmas, and in our hearts this Christmas day
~Instrumental~
Bargain sales and neon signs flashing merry X-mas …...
Bottom lines just can’t replace what the real Christmas is all about?
There’s no “X” in Christmas, it sounds absurd to even say …...
Let’s keep the Christ in Christmas, and in our hearts this Holy day
There’s no “X” in Christmas…. Let’s keep the Christ in Christmas day
There’s no “X” in Christmas…. Let’s keep the Christ in Christmas day
There’s no “X” in Christmas…. Let’s keep the Christ in Christmas day

Cool song, Tom. I sort of hear some REM influence in it.
My favorite lines in your lyrics are:

Love the call/response in the chorus!
Nice message to counter the commercialism of Christmas.
Good to hear from you Tom!

Good song Tom. Love the harmonica, but then I always do - I'm not very good at blowing one myself so it's good to hear someone who can! No X in Christmas? Yeah, I'm with the sentiments here. It's been allowed by too many to turn into a fest of commercial madness. If you're a Christian then it should be about celebrating the birth of Christ, and, no matter what you believe, it should be a special time for family - children in particular. Your song sums it up rather well.

Glad you like this one, Rainy..............thanks for listening and commenting!
Hi Chris...........glad you like this. I wish the recording was better; but, the song itself, I love.
Don't get me wrong, I love the lights, the trees, the presents, the food.............but much more is the why we celebrate 😇
Have a great New Year, and keep those tunes of yours coming!!

I love the message in your song. It is easy to get sidetracked during the holidays, but remembering the real reason is so important. I love the harmonica solo.
Super catchy and meaningful. Really nice Tom.

Hola @IronKnee
I make a mess with the forums hahaha I thought that I had already commented on you but I see that not here!!!
I like your song, it enters the ear directly, it's catchy and it's very well put together, and the lyrics are great, naked truth.....
The naked truth stings but that's good, will we have to change skin?
Stay well and happy!!
