Song of the Day #6,375: ‘The Christmas Song’ – Brad Paisley

I’ll be dedicating next week’s blog posts to Christmas music new and old, so I’m getting a head start today by featuring a track from Brad Paisley’s recently released Christmas album, Snow Globe Town.

This is Paisley’s first studio release in eight years, a long dry spell for a guy who put out an album every other year between 1999 and 2017. I’d welcome a new set of originals from Paisley, but I guess this is better than nothing.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny 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 gonna spy
To see if reindeer 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
