I am sick of this old misconception. Not anti-christian you blind fool. The lyrics mean that he believed in the 'fairy story" 'til (UNTIL) he then believed in the Israelite. He means that he bought into the commercialization of Christmas until he saw throught the disguise and found the real story. Greg has always advocated putting the Christ back in Christmas. Is there no depth to your mind, do you only think on a superficial level? How can you live your life with one-dimensional thinking?

@inchargenow NO SH!T!?!?!?? - That's truly good news since I also had misinterpreted his meaning as atheistic. I've always loved the song but not without a slightly guilt-ridden wince at some of the lyrics.

BTW, the audio on this is extremely low. Thanks

I respect your view of what the Christmas season is. The commercialization of the holiday is terrible. All we hear about is how it is going to affect the economy if Christmas giving is low and how awful it will be for the "poor" retailers. I wish we could get all the way back to what the season was before Christians took it, like so many other holidays, and applied it to their beliefs. Yes, Christmas was more then just the Christ story at one time. Check history. Merry Christmas .

@clunkster001 spewed forth his ignorance with " I see that one of your favourites is Andy Kim. Well if that doesn't explain where your mind is, nothing does." Nothing like painting everyone with the same brush! That is ignorant! What's wrong with Andy Kim, f****ng fool?

@consv Where is there a shot at Bush in a video done years before he was in office? Are you speaking to a comment someone posted? Seriously Rush find somewhere else to hang out.

This is my favorite Christmas song. I wish stations played it more.

i met greg a long time ago at a musicians workshop in the late 70's or early 80's down in hollyweird and i am a staunch man who believes beyond words and i have no probs with greg's beautiful song... it's a great song... some may have a prob with the "fairy story" or the "father christmas" phrases but they don't see the forest for the trees... "greater love has no man than to lay down his life for a friend" ... jesus said it... he actually did it... argue with that if you can...

@inchargenow If what you say is true then it means what I have always thought of as a very elegantly written song is ill worded, religious doggerel. I simply can't see how you have mentally twisted the words in to what you claim. You are taking selective words out of context, adding your own and twisting the whole thing to your own meaning.
