Christmas Song Lyrics

Cover art for Christmas Song lyrics by Jethro Tull

He owns several salmon farms, f'rinstance; last I checked, this is not in the vegetarian book of etiquette, nor are these for-profit enterprises being utilized for, say, Somalian famine relief. If you think this song isn't crap and Anderson is a mean little hypocrite, you're idiots, and I've a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

I think that Ian Anderson is just holding up a mirror for us here. I see nothing in the song that speaks of the singers superiority to his audience. He's just making sure that we don't go off a-partying without thinking about those who have less or what the true meaning of the Holiday season is supposed to be about.
