THAT’S WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME
w&m by Dana Countryman
Christmas is falling snow, children home, out of school
Christmas is getting hugs from all of your in-laws
Christmas is pink noses, frozen toes and Jingle Bells
Christmas is Christmas Eve, can’t get to sleep and Santa Claus
Christmas is Sunday School, and it’s mom in the kitchen,
cooking the turkey for dinner on Christmas Day
It’s Dad, watching football on TV
Oh, that’s what Christmas means to me
Christmas is getting on the roof and stringing Christmas lights
Christmas is carolers, out singing in the snow
Christmas is presents, and lost mittens and it’s snowball fights
Christmas is hearing “White Christmas” played on the radio,
Christmas is mistletoe, and candy canes, and holly wreaths
Christmas is cookies shaped like reindeer, and what’s more
It’s little sister’s up on Santa’s knee
Oh, that’s what Christmas means to me
Christmas is seeing all the relatives on Christmas Day
Christmas is taking pictures of the family
Christmas is Bethlehem, Silent Night, stockings hung
upon the fireplace where Santa’s bound to see
Christmas is baby dolls, and BB guns, and Tonka Trucks
Christmas is celebrating His nativity
It’s putting the star on the Christmas tree
Oh, that’s what Christmas means,
what Christmas means
That’s what Christmas means to me
This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.

This is wonderful sunshine pop that will make you want to smell the flowers and trip through a psychedelic forest of dreams. You don't even need to ingest anything, all you have to do is listen and let the waves of eternal happiness wash over you. Trippy, fun and beautiful and a great way to start a sunny day. mockturtle

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot
