How much fun it's gonna be together This Christmas

Artist- Donny Hathaway
Song of the day- This Christmas

We are days away can you even believe it? So today let's bring a little funk into the mix with this little 1970s classic. To me the best part about Christmas is the anticipation that the holidays bring, which is pretty much what today's song is about. Thinking of all the people you get to see, all the activities ONLY done on Christmas, the smells the goodies, all the various incarnations of sugar. It reminds me of when I was at Disneyland last weekend (Be jealous) and it was the worse crowds I've ever seen and I was ran over by people and wheelchairs and strollers, oh the strollers, moving at an ants pace grumpily going along. Then it snowed (fake snow mind you) and everyone stopped in their tracks, the best of friends or as Hathaway sings "shake a hand shake a hand". It's what makes the holidays even more fantastic when everyone around is excited with anticipation as well. So here's to what you are excited about this Christmas.



"This Christmas"

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright (whoa)
We're caroling through the night (whoa)
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me (whoa)

Ha
Let's go
Woo

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do
This Christmas

[Chorus]

Alright, break it down, ha ha ha

Ooh yeah, yeah yeah, alright

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Alright now, right now, now

Fireside, oh, is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night, yeah
And this Christmas will be, oh
A very special Christmas for me yeah
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me oh oh

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Merry Christmas, oh yeah
Gonna have a merry Christmas, oh yeah, oh oh
Merry Christmas, oh it will be
Oh, a very very very special Christmas
A very special Christmas (this Christmas)
Alright now, right now, yeah oh
