I'm really surprised that this song isn't more popular. It's a really beautiful song with a nice, and slightly funny message.
It's obviously about how some people today say that the commercialism in Christmas (Santa) is taking the true meaning out of the Holiday.
(ex.Then presents came
and eyes were turned
from Jesus Christ
and what he'd earned
to watching the night sky
for flying deer
... people are distracted by the commercialism)
But here, Number One Gun is laying that argument down for the sake of the love behind the Holiday, stating that "Jesus doesn't hate Santa Claus." And the part of Santa doing his job I think means that Santa is doing his job by spreading joy and just loving everyone, which is being an example of Christlikeness, and I would imagine Jesus would want people to associate joy and love with the Holiday of His birth.
Bottom line: Just embrace Christmas and have a good attitude! :)
