about
this is a song i wrote when i was 21 going on 22, awaiting my champagne birthday on december 22nd 2015. this is the only real christmas song i've ever wrote, and i just remembered it and found the file i'd recorded 7 years ago and listened to it. it was good. i did some editing, added some ambience, etc... but it is the same recording. just me and ukulele. in 2023 when i turn 30, i will record a new version for that new milestone.
lyrics
december first and it rained
just in time for the weather change
might as well put up christmas lights and deck the halls
it hasn't snowed yet so we'll just wait, we'll wait, we'll all
don't go out shopping for presents yet
i haven't written my list, you won't know what to get me
and by the time i do let's hope the snow falls
and we can decorate the tree while we wait, we wait, we all
just wait til christmas, after we've had my champagne birthday
an after we pretend there's a chimney for santa claus to slide down
just wait til christmas, when the snow's finally on the ground
just wait til christmas
let's go out skating, so i can fall on my ass
let's listen to 2000 miles, and let the night roll past
let's take ironic pictures with santa at the mall
let's pretend it's cold while we wait, we wait, we all
chorus
with the christmas record on real low
turn it up and dance real slow
got five more minutes til we have to go
and i think it just started snow
