Note BTW, in interests of accuracy, that the word 'that', included in thread title, is 'understood', & does not in fact feature in the first line of each stanza. It would wreck the cadence. In the interest of which, note also the extra syllable included in the adverbial phrase of time which constitutes the burden -- "Chris-i-mas Day".
