About the Song
Now, gather ’round the fireplace, folks, and let’s stir the embers of a classic Christmas song with a bit of a twist. We all know Toby Keith, the king of country grit and twang. But did you know he has a Christmas album tucked away in his discography? Released in 1995, “Christmas to Christmas” showcased Toby’s take on some holiday favorites, and nestled amongst the carols was a song that raised eyebrows with its playful title: “Jesus Gets Jealous of Santa Claus”.
Intrigued, aren’t we? This isn’t your typical, reverent Christmas tune. Now, before you think it’s some kind of sacrilegious rock anthem, fret not. Toby Keith approaches the theme with his signature wink and a nudge. It’s a good-natured, tongue-in-cheek look at the season, pondering a lighthearted question: with all the excitement surrounding Santa’s jolly arrival, could there be a touch of friendly competition brewing between him and the Son of God?
So, settle in for a listen. “Jesus Gets Jealous of Santa Claus” might not be a traditional hymn, but it’s a song that injects a touch of humor and folksy charm into the holiday season. It’s a reminder that Christmas can be a time for lighthearted fun alongside its deeper meaning. Let’s see what Toby Keith has in store for us in this unconventional Christmas tale.
