I know two songs which spell out the meaning of Christmas alphabetically. The first is Christmas Alphabet (Buddy Kaye & Jules Loman). This was sung by Dicky Valentine and Sir Cliff Richard among others. The second is C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S (Lou Carson and Eddy Arnold). It was recorded by Eddy Arnold and Hank Snow among others. My recordings are about a second apart.

C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree,
H is for the happiness with all the family,
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane,
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane,
S is for the stocking hanging on the chimney wall,
T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall,
M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed,
A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list,
S is for the santa who makes every kid his pet,
Be good and he'll bring you everything in your Christmas alphabet!
Capital see is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree,
H is for the happiness with all the family,
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane,
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane,
S is for the stocking hanging on the chimney wall,
T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall,
M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed,
A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list,
S is for the Santa who makes every kid his pet,
Be good and he'll bring you everything in your Christmas alphabet!


When I was but a youngster Christmas meant one thing
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot different when mother set me down
And taught me to spell Christmas this way.
C is for the Christ Child born upon this day
H is for Herald Angels in the night
R means our redeemer
I means Israel
S is for the star that shone so bright
T is for three wise men they who travelled far
M is for the manger where he lay
A's for all he stands for
S means shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day.
And that's why there's a Christmas Day...

I remember the first tune but don't recall ever hearing the second one. Nicely played with well chosen voicing. .. Fred

Hi Dragon and Brian,

Glad that you enjoyed them. I would have put BOGOFF but was not sure if it was BOGOF which would fit "buy one get one free."
