Salvation's coming cheap today

Artist- Aimee Mann
Song of the day- Calling on Mary

One of my favorite Christmas traditions was with my sister in California. We would start off the holiday season with Aimee Mann and her christmas show cuz there is nothing I enjoy more than a good hollywood hipster christmas. Sadly Mann stopped doing christmas concerts but her holiday album still gets me in the hipster holiday mood. So here's to you cool cats out there. Just remember know one is too cool for christmas, cuz if so Aimee Mann would be.



I heard the sidewalk Santa say:
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Salvation's coming cheap today
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

I searched the skyline for a star
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
And baby I wondered where you are
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

'Cause comfort's not possible when
You look past the joy to the end

Calling on Mary is voluntary
Unless you're alone like me
If there's a star above, then it can look like love
When they light up the Christmas tree

When I was young I couldn't see
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
All that my true love gave to me
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

She offered sight to the blind
But I'm not the miracle kind

Calling on Mary is voluntary
Unless you're alone like me
If there's a star above, then it can look like love
When they light up the Christmas tree

And to all the lost souls down below:
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
What's one more drifter in the snow?
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

If there's a star above, then it can look like love
When they light up the Christmas tree
If there's a star above, then it can look like love
