Christmastime by Larry Norman

Here is an rather old, but favorite, Christmas song by Larry Norman. I have the original and rare "So Long Ago the Garden" lp. This is another version of the song but it still has the great intro and "the scream". Someone put pictures to the song to make this Youtube video.




Here is the Randy Stonehill version of the song (no video). Larry Norman and Randy Stonehill were two of my favorite artists from the 70's and on.



Larry Norman can be biting and insiteful in his music and this is a great and fun example. Whenever I think about Christmas music the first thing I think about is, "Santa Claus is coming and the kids are getting greedy..."

Christmastime

Santa Claus is coming and the kids are gettin' greedy
It's Christmas time
They know what's in the store 'cause they seen it on the TV
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
It used to be the birthday of the Man who saved our necks
It's Christmas time
Now it stands for Santa Claus they spell it with an X
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
Woah it's Christmas time
Oh woah oh baby
Oh woah oh woah it's Christmas time
Oh yeah baby
I said Yeah
Yeah
Yeah... You go into the forest and you cut down all the trees
It's Christmas time
I know you got a power saw but who plants the seeds?
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
I gotta buy a present can't remember who it's for
It's Christmas time
I 'll see you in a hour when I get back from the store
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
