about

Enjoy Bill Jardine’s toe tapping, joyful, exuberant Christmas tune that answers the question “Why do we call it Christmas Day!” through the telling of the nativity story; the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Complete with Christmas bells, choirs of angels and a sing- along chorus, the song (and video) blend the traditional nativity story with Christmas Tree / Santa merriment and offers something for everyone to enjoy.

lyrics

Bethlehem Story
By Bill Jardine

When I was younger my mom used to tell
Her Bethlehem story, she knew so well
How Jesus was born there - I still hear her say
That’s why we call it Christmas Day

There in the manger a baby lie still
Sent down from heaven to do God's will
He would teach all the people that “love is the way”
That’s why we call it Christmas Day

Chorus
Now bells are all ringing across this land
And the people are singing ‘bout Bethlehem
Yes we want to remember this holiday
Jesus was born on Christmas Day

Angels and shepherds, a star in the night
The wise men with presents, they followed the light
To the little lord Jesus asleep in the hay
That’S why we call it Christmas Day

Chorus

Bridge
Now that I'm older with kids of my own
I tell them the story how Christ was born
So they’ll always remember this holiday
That why we call it Christmas Day

Chorus
