Queen talks
"Well, the funny thing is that you have to make Christmas records in the summer, and you just don't feel like it. Cause if you start making them at Christmas, obviously it's all over before you've got it out."
Brian May - 1997
"Roger and I both came up with an idea for a Christmas single around July of that year. We went in and demo'd both of them, and we decided that Roger's was the best one. The other song, my one, became Anita's Christmas song a couple of years later, I Dream Of Christmas."
Brian May - 2001
Additional Information
- Written and recorded in the summer of 1984, shortly before Queen embarked on rehearsals for their world tour. Brian, Roger, and John recorded their parts in London, while Freddie recorded his vocals in Munich, as he was recording his solo album (Mr. Bad Guy) there at the time.

Lyrics
Oh my love we've had our share of tears
Oh my friend we've had our hopes and fears
Oh my friends it's been a long hard year
But now it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
The moon and stars seem awful cold and bright
Let's hope the snow will make this Christmas right
My friend the world will share this special night
Because it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one night
Thank God it's Christmas yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Can it be Christmas?
Let it be Christmas
Every day
Oh my love we've lived in troubled days
Oh my friend we have the strangest ways
All my friends on this one day of days
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Oooh yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes yes yes yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day
A very merry Christmas to you all
