Nostalgic Christmas

from Shhh​.​.​. It's Christmas by Beckett

about

That old time Christmas swing with so much nostalgia you'll be reminiscing back to 1989 before you know it. How old were you then? Do you remember the smell of fresh pine needles?, the feel of the heater kicking in and warming your feet? The Smell of Christmas dinner cooking as you play games and watch a rerun of Muppets Christmas Carol? It feels like a warm place in my mind, maybe it was just as different for our parents back then as it feels for me now, 30 years on?... we didn't realise we're all living those future memories.

lyrics

Verse 1.
Waking up early on Christmas morn,
All the excitement at the crack of dawn.
I Hear from my sister, Santa's been again,
Open the stockings at 6 am.

It’s been a while since he got my note,
Probably '88 since last I wrote?
30 years on and it feels the same,
But the days leading up feeling short again?

Pre-chorus.
This time of year just makes it feel, like nostalgia wrapped in twine.
Crazy to see everyone for a week, but it’s worth it, every time.

Chorus.
I know, I know, how’s it's gonna play, got to host the family on this special day.
I know, I know, what we’re gotta do, probably the same thing that is happening for you?
I know, I know. Christmas is here.
Got to ramp up the excitement and the season cheer.
I know, I know, what some will say. Novembers' too early for Christmas anyway!?

Solo
