CHRIST IN MEH CHRISTMAS
By Rev. Nicole Ballosingh Holder

Merry Christmas, everybody! Remember to put Christ in yuh Christmas every year, all year!

Another Christmas in T&T, the hustle and bustle begin
Is Christmas commercial, and shopping sprees, parang and carols to sing
Hearing 'bout painting and pastelle and turning the house upside down
And I hearing 'bout eating and drinking galore but tell me really what Christmas is for?

Just put back Christ in mih Christmas this year
I want Christ in mih Christmas this year
The manger is where it start, so put Jesus Christ in your heart
Gimme Christ in mih Christmas this year.

Look doh get vex, just take out the X
Let Jesus shine, Santa wouldn't mind
If you put back Christ in mih Christmas this year.

Come on everybody, baila! Wooh!!! No-no-no-no-no take out the X! Take out the X, remove it from there! Thank you. That's it, that's it! You now getting the hang of things. Baila everybody, baila!

I hear bout Anita and the Hunter, some want to know where Daisy gone
A whole song 'bout black cake and a paintbrush, even a girl called Yvonne
I hearing about Soca Santa, how he love Christmas down in Trinidad
But you see, he only eating paratha and still there are people that are still very sad.

So put back Christ in mih Christmas this year
I think I want Christ in mih Christmas this year
You see, the manger is where it start, so put Jesus Christ in your heart
Gimme Christ in mih Christmas this year
Child doh get vex, just take out the X
Let Jesus shine, how Santa go mind?
If you put back Christ in yuh Christmas this year.

All right everybody, canta canta! Wooooo! Gloria a Dios! No-no-no roti and egg, no roti and egg! Christ in yuh Christmas That's it, that's it!

Jesus Christ born of a virgin, He came down from heaven to men
He gave His own life for all mankind, restored and redeemed us from sin
Now He is the reason for the season, giving salvation and joy
So let Him be King in your heart and your life, then a true Christmas you will enjoy.

Just put back Christ in yuh Christmas this year
All yuh need is Christ in yuh Christmas this year
I tell yuh the manger is where it start, so put Jesus down in your heart
Put back Christ in yuh Christmas this year

How you go get vex? just take out the X
Let Jesus shine, Santa could never mind
If you put back Christ in yuh Christmas this year.

Child, doh get vex, just take out the X
Let Jesus shine, Santa cyah mind
If  we put back Christ in we Christmas, Christ in we Christmas, Christ in we Christmas this year!

Wooooo! Yeah yeah yeah! Gloria a Dios! That's it, that's it! C-H-R-I-S-T
