It was written by Eddie Carswell and Leonard Ahlstrom.〔 ==Content== The song recounts the events experienced by a narrator completing the last of his gift-shopping on Christmas Eve. In the checkout aisle, a young boy is ahead of him, wishing to purchase a pair of expensive shoes for his terminally ill mother, explaining to the cashier that he hasn't much time remaining before she finally succumbs to the undisclosed illness and that he wants her to appear presentable before Jesus. However, he lacks enough money to pay for the shoes. The narrator ends up paying for the shoes, to the boy's delight. The song closes on the note that the experience has permanently changed the narrator, reflecting on the true meaning of the Christmas season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Christmas Shoes (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
