LYRICS:

Are you hanging up your baubles on the tree?

Who've you got to thank for that? It's me!

​

It's true that Vic and Albert

Helped its popularity

But George the Third's wife Charlotte

Brought it here from Germany

​

Are you sending Christmas cards to all your friends?

Henry Cole popularised the trend

​

And your Christmas cracker

Filled with a little treat

That's Tom Smith the confectioner

I just wanted to sell more sweets!

​

So here it is, your Christmas

Traditions

All made popular by

Victorians

​

Are you singing Christmas carols in the street?

Or nibbling mince pies filled with fruit, not meat?

​

Victorian traditions?

'Fraid not, don't blame me

Just like eating turkey

They've been around for centuries

​

So here it is, your Christmas

Supersized

Thanks to 'A Christmas Carol'

Popularised

​

Yes, here it is, your Christmas

Let's have a ball

And from us Victorians

Merry Christmas, one and all

(It's Victorian Chriiiistmaaaaas!)
