Discover the story of the song > A Christmas Song – Ian Anderson

The lyrics talk about how a mother and her baby were in a cattle shed. The protagonist wants to remind people about the things the baby said later in life. He is frustrated that people only care about drinking and partying during Christmas, instead of remembering the true meaning. He questions how people can be happy when there are hungry people and when their reasons for being happy are wrong. If he ruins people's fun, he wants them to remember that his song is just about Christmas.
