All I want for Christmas is you

If Christmas was this easy:

"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you You

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is You

All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby."

Yes yes, Christmas is round the corner and unlike the song that Mariah sang, it sure ain't only about having someone. Well, if that were the case, it would definitely make these toy producers all jittery.

But there is something to be discerned about the lyrics to this song. Imagine a Christmas in which presents are not the raison de entre. Imagine a Christmas in which the people here celebrate each other and not Hasbro,Mattel or Chanel products. Imagine a Christmas where we actually remember that this was the birth date of Jesus.

I am certainly not telling you to return celebrating Christmas by only going to church and doing nothing else. I am just reminding you readers that theres more to Christmas. Lets not lose the meaning of this holiday to product manufacturers and shop owners, aiming to cash in on the holiday. With that said and done, I need to do some shopping now.
