"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, who has Santa hiding from Christmas in his house and is depressed. On a card he has written "Merry Christmas" and that he hopes everyone's happy and apologises for the escape. For the second verse, he has hanged himself. In his diary is the same message, as there was on the card.
