Incorporating elements of R&B and hip-hop, “A Saint’s Christmas” offers a lyrical explanation for the meaning of the sacred holiday from a believer’s perspective.  The birth of the Savior and God’s everlasting love are what make the holiday a “M-E-R-R-Y  C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S!”

The slow R&B flavored groove features Riles, Sr. and Jesse Wortham and is part of the 15-track CD entitled, Ronnie R. Riles Sr. Presents Family and Friends Praising God.

Ronnie R. Riles, Sr. makes a plea for more Christ-centered love in “It’s Christmas Time.”

Highlighting all the wonderful sights and sounds typically associated with the holiday–mistletoe, stockings, and energetic children–over the unhurried groove, he returns his subsequent verse with an abbreviated narrative of Christ’s birth; hence, the real meaning of the season.

It’s time, Riles says, “to show your love…to love everybody!”
