I never liked that song either, though I'm sure I've made clear in this thread that I really dislike almost all pop Christmas music.
That said, I think a reasonable argument could be made that concern for the poor, wherever they may be, is closer to what the holiday is actually about than are songs about Santa Claus and reindeer or snow and jingle bells.
