Story Behind The Song
Bill & Sandy were thinking that everyone knows what Christmas is truly about, but it's been obfuscated by the gifts, lights, Santa etc. We need to be reminded of the true meaning.
Song Description
Most of the world has gotten away from the true meaning of Christmas. It's become a consumerist "benchmark"; even though the true meaning is known throughout the world.

Lyrics
Put up your Christmas lights
Decorate the Christmas tree
Hang up some mistletoe
For everyone to see
Carols fill the air
The gifts are everywhere
Is that what Christmas means?
Seems like no one cares
CHORUS
Everyone around the world knows it's Christmas time
Even if it's not
what you believe
You can't deny
that a special child
was born in Bethlehem
Who shines a light
for all the world to see
It's for the child at heart
It's for the ones you love
And if you're apart
It's for the ones you're thinking of
It's a time for joy
Santa Claus and
Christmas wreaths
But have we forgotten now
To celebrate the
Prince Of Peace?
