It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes
And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.
He counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searched his pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
He said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great.
Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.
I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

"White Christmas" by The Drifters. Song's great, dumb cartoon is dumb.
I seriously f'n hate that Christmas shoes song. I change the channel when it comes on. Having said that... I love Christmas music.![]()
I seriously came into this thread to say " that creepy Christmas shoes song."
I really don't know which part of the song I like the best......it's all so damn good.
Probably the part where the kid ushers the clerk to get the shoes before his mom keels over.
I could honestly say I was in tears when I first heard this song.
Preparing for a merry Christmas with the cheater? Downright pathetic and sickening..
Come on, guys!
I couldn't find the recording made after this film of the song, which is the more known version and the one I prefer.
Try to ignore the fact that it's made with legos and just listen to the song![]()
I've hated that damn Christmas Shoes song since I first laid ears on it, though I have to admit that I can now almost appreciate it's subversive edge. Like a musical version of The Da Vinci Code it puts forth it's own controversial take on the true nature of Christ, in this case implying that dude had a foot fetish. Why else would a pair of shoes be what's needed to look beautiful when meeting him?
Of course, this idea is hardly new. Many scholars believe that the Vatican heavily edited the story of Jesus washing the apostles feet, removing the term "raging mega-boner" amongst other things.
