The Christmas Song
J.C. Lodge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!
The Christmas Song by J.C. Lodge depicts a typical Christmas scene with chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, yule-tide carols being sung by a choir, and folks dressed up like Eskimos. The verses talk about the things that everyone associates with the holiday season, from the turkey and mistletoe to the anticipation of Santa's arrival with his sleigh full of toys. The imagery in the lyrics creates a cozy, warm feeling similar to the one we feel when we are surrounded by loved ones at Christmas time. The lyrics of the chorus offer a simple yet heartfelt message, wishing Merry Christmas to everyone, regardless of age, race, or religion.
The song was first recorded by Nat King Cole in 1946, and it has since become a holiday classic that has been covered by numerous artists. J.C. Lodge's version was released in 1988 and has a reggae flavor to it, which adds a unique twist to the traditional Christmas song. This song has been hailed as one of the most popular Christmas songs in the world, alongside classics like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Jingle Bells." It is estimated that the song has sold over 12.5 million copies worldwide.
