I've always liked this song, with the orchestration. A close listen will let you know it was written as a disparagement over the commercialism of Christmas. I was initially put off by the lines that cast Jesus as a fairy tale, but have come to think he may be actually referring to the "commercialism" of religion. Whatever, reflect on the pleasant childhood memories you may have, and make new ones this year. Let Christmas, faith, and family be what you want it to be.
The catchy melody that's repeated (on synthesizer) several times in the song is from Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé Suite.
