Christmas is a time of twinkling lights, gift exchanges, and the warmth of loved ones gathered near—but at its heart, it’s about something deeper. Whose Birthday Is Christmas? brings us back to the true meaning of the holiday, gently reminding us that amidst the festive cheer, we are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
This song carries a tender, almost childlike sincerity, asking the question that often gets lost in the holiday hustle: Whose birthday are we celebrating? It’s not about the presents under the tree, the stockings by the fireplace, or even the joyful carols we sing—it’s about the Savior’s arrival, the gift of love, and the message of hope He brought to the world.
With a melody that feels like a warm embrace and lyrics that cut through the seasonal noise, Whose Birthday Is Christmas? tugs at the heartstrings of believers young and old. Whether sung in a quiet church service, around the family Christmas tree, or by a children’s choir, its message is simple yet profound. It invites us to pause, reflect, and remember that Christmas isn’t just a holiday—it’s a holy day.
This song is more than just music; it’s a heartfelt call to bring Christ back to Christmas. And in the midst of all the excitement, it gently nudges us to celebrate the one whose birth changed the world forever

Lyrics
One December Sunday morning after church
I was walking to my car and I heard a little boy say
Oh daddy just who’s birthday is Christmas
The Bible says that Jesus was born
Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because
You hear so much about Santa Clause
Silver bells and ceder smells don’t tell the story
Of the virgin and the manger where He lay
Festive drinks and glasses klinks will not make Jesus
Proud to say that this is His birthday
Oh daddy just who’s birthday is Christmas
The Bible says that Jesus was born
Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because
You hear so much about Santa Clause
In Sunday school we read the Christmas story
Saint Nick will come next week so we are told
It’s hard to understand in a big peoples land
Especially if you’re six years old
Oh daddy just who’s birthday is Christmas
The Bible says that Jesus was born
Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because
You hear so much about Santa Clause
It’s hard to understands in a big peoples land
Especially if you’re six years old.
