When I was younger my music teacher had us do this song for our concert. I have always thought that this song is really pretty. I suppose that this isn't really a meaning, but this comment is about its meaning to me. The image that I get when I hear this song is a sidewalk next to a snow covered field, with people milling about and a Santa with a collection bell, and snow falling on everything. I love Christmastime and winter. This seemed like a bunch of gibberish didn't it?
