Christmas Is Coming Lyrics

Christmas Is Coming Lyrics

Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny
In the old man’s hat.
If you haven’t got a penny,
A ha’penny will do,
If you haven’t got a ha’penny,
Then God bless you.

This traditional Christmas song has been handed down from generations in the form of a nursery rhyme. Who wrote it, is still a mystery. Edith Nesbit Bland composed its music in the late nineteenth century.
The words of Christmas is coming reflects the Christmas festival of celebration of being a time of plenty but that charity should be given to the less fortunate according to the giver’s means!
The lyrics of this song were to associate the Christmas feast with geese which were traditional English Christmas fayre. The meaning that was conveyed to a child was that the festive period was where each should give to charity, according to their means…even if they could only give their blessing!
