Christmas, was always a puzzle or Mr. McPhinch.
  It's not like he hated it he wasn’t the Grinch
  His kids understood it and so did his wife
  But he never quite had not once in his life
  His home town of Callaway
  Always went all out
  They hung up decorations around and about
  He understood the presents the gifts and the tree
  But Christmas itself oh what could it mean
  He thought and he thought but he just didn’t know
  What Christmas meant with all the toys and the snow

  His mother and father got Christmas a lot
  But their son most definitely not
  He disliked Christmas when it came to town
  But never did say this when his kids were around

  The wreaths and the holly where they just for fun
  Or did they have some meaning like the moon and the sun
  Was Santa important why was he there
  Why did he give all those toys why did he care
  He went to his wife to ask the reason
  For all of the trouble during the Christmas season

  She said that she knew but if he was to know
  He would have to go out and look at the snow
  He went outside and looked on the ground

  But he still didn’t get it
  Why Christmas came to town

  On the way to the store to buy one more toy
  He met Reverend Moaw who was full of great joy
  What does Christmas mean said he to Rev. Maow
  But the Pastor just laughed,
  “I’ll tell you right now.”

  “Christmas.” he said “Is not about the snow or the toys
  “Its about the birth of our Christ about giving and joy.”
   And Mr. McFinch his head filled with new meaning
   Ran home with with great joy and hopeful tears streaming

    On his way home he shouted out loud
    I understand Christmas I know ‘of it now
    He understood everything he understood now
    He understood why and he understood how
    He did no more thinking or all that because
    He knew about Christmas he knew what it was
