about

“Though I’m not religious, the holidays are a great time to check in with friends and family, enjoy delicious food, and play music together. I learned this tune for my friend Gordon whose family hosts an annual Christmas Party; he sings this one year round-despite not knowing past the opening line. I recorded it live with a minimal setup to emulate the 10pm cozy Christmas Eve couch feeling.” - Alex Mackinnon

lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeer's really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you, Merry Christmas to you
