The reason for the season

 

They stole the winter solstice

Those Grinches way back then

Those followers of Jesus

Those shepherds and wise men

They thought old Saturnalia

was not the best of times

Replaced the winter solstice

and other nasty crimes

No time for celebrations

Gift-giving they did take

They took the decorations

And called us Pagans fake

They stole the gods and Goddess

replaced them with just one

This bloke was never happy

He took away all fun

And still when years did pass us

They took a hell lot more

Old Santa he was Odin

He brought those gifts and more

They took away our evergreens

Our songs and wassailing 

And even nicked the Mistletoe

And used it for snogging!

So spare a thought this Yuletide

Try not to commit treason

Be proud of all your pagan kin

They're the reason for the season
