Christmas Album 2003
Once in royal davids city stood a lonely cattle shed,
Where a mother held her baby.
Youd do well to remember the things he later said.
When youre stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties,
Youll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
Youre missing the point Im sure does not need making
That christmas spirit is not what you drink.
So how can you laugh when your own mothers hungry,
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
Remember, if you wish, this is just a christmas song.
(hey! santa! pass us that bottle, will you? )

Absolutely my favorite of all time Christmas songs I. always used it as a model to tell my children what Christmas was NOT! Their Dad was rich and we were not. But even after they were grown, they spend Christmas with me.

I'm just now discovering Jethro Tull at 41. Not that I didn't know who they were, I just don't like their Aqualung song, which was played ad-nauseum in the 1980's. Their sound is really unique and intelligent. I started listening a couple of years ago looking for Henry VIII's "Pastime with Good Company", which they covered. This Christmas album is great.

Jethro Tull don't get the love they deserve in this superficial pop music world we live in.
Well I will say this...they are great musicians who make great music. If you like music, you should like Jethro Tull. Whether they're cool or not.
