The history of Christmas
Owns no space in me
It’s origination date
Of it, I am free

An inheritance passed down
Of which the world’s complicit
Money flows, rain or shine
Out shopping, you can see it

The fact it lives in winter time
With rain and cold and snow
Makes me contemplate
Without it, would the money flow?

Even government gets involved
As Norad tracks his moves
Songs create a boogey man
Meant bad behavior to remove

“Better watch out,
Better not cry
Santa, he be comin’
Remember, he’s got spies

He sees you when you’re sleepin’
Sees when you’re awake
Watches every little move
Be careful ‘bout mistakes

An innocent lie is how it’s seen
Passed by every generation
Depicts the birth of Jesus
And not affected by inflation!
