Weihnachtsmann vom Dach
1998 single by Die Roten Rosen
"Weihnachtsmann vom Dach" (Santa Claus from the roof) is a Christmas song by Die Toten Hosen, released as Die Roten Rosen. It's the first single and the sixth track from the Christmas album Wir warten auf's Christkind....
The song is sung from the perspective of somebody that believes a depressed Santa is hiding from Christmas in his attic. On a card he has written "Merry Christmas" and that he hopes everyone's happy and apologises for his escape. Present wrapping is littered around and in his diary he wrote "I am here and Bethlehem is far away".
