Christ-Mas
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want another fruitcake,
I don't need another ugly tie
No!
Heard they had a sale on go karts
Down at Wal Mart
Ho ho a good buy.
Got no money in my pocket.
Can't believe it's Christmastime.

It's the crowds that bug me
Stuck in traffic like this.
It's kids causing a commotion.
It's shop at your own risk.

It's that Tickle Me Elmo,
It's (dang) un-find-able

Christ-mas! Christ-mas!
Un-shopp-able!
Christ-mas! Christ-mas!

It can make a feller uptight.
I must have been to fifteen stores or more.
All I wanted was a Lite Brite
But they sold out last night of course.
Time I buy my kids a swing set,
I'd be broke forevermore

Tis the season of givin'.
Tis that time of year.
Twas the night before Christmas,
Twas a pain in the rear.
It's the credit card payment,
Its (ahhh) un-payable

Christ-mas! Christ-mas!
Return-able.
Christ-mas! Christ-mas!

You'll see Santa hop the rooftops
Rudolph's nose will be glowin' so bright.
There's a whole lot of parents losin' sleep
Nuthin' silent about this night

Oh, Christmas is pure promotion
Let us not forget why
We're all out shoppin'.
We're all out buyin'.

It's the off-key caroling.
Grandma's mistletoe kiss.
It's that one string of light bulbs
You can never get lit.
It's that gallon of egg nog,
It's so (uhhh) undrinkable.

Christ-mas! Christ-mas!
Decorate-able.
Christ-mas! Christ-mas!

It's the things you buy me baby.
It's the things I buy you darlin' yeah.
It's the crowds that bug me
Stuck in traffic like this.
It's kids causing a commotion.
It's shop at your own risk.

Its that Faith Hill CD.
They're all sold out-able.

Christ-mas! Christ-mas!
Beautiful.
Christ-mas! Christ-mas!





It's the things you buy me baby.
It's the things I buy you darlin' yeah.

Overall Meaning

The song "Christ-Mas" by Cledus T. Judd highlights the commercialization and excessive consumerism that surrounds the holiday season. The lyrics express frustration with the crowded stores, traffic, and ridiculous holiday deals that ultimately take away from the true meaning of Christmas. The singer is tired of receiving useless gifts like fruitcake, ugly ties, and sold-out toys. The chorus sarcastically calls out the unavailability of popular gifts, the outrageous credit card bills, and the unappealing nature of Christmas treats like eggnog. Despite all of these negative aspects of the holiday season, the song still acknowledges the joy of spending time with loved ones and giving and receiving gifts.


Through its lyrics, the song encourages listeners to reflect on their own holiday traditions and the values they place on material possessions versus the importance of spending time with family and friends. The catchy chorus reminds listeners that despite the chaos and stress of the holiday season, there is still beauty and joy to be found in the moments that really matter.
