I'm breaking the rules. This is the acoustic demo I made back in 2011 of It Don't Feel Much Like Christmas This Year. (My father had died earlier in the year and I was feeling blue,) I posted a BIAB version in 2016 that is nowhere as good. So as much as BIAB has made my music better, there are times for acoustic simplicity: one mic on my vocal and guitar.

Here in Minnesota there will be now snow this year, so what goes around, comes around. Cheers!

It Don't Feel Much Like Christmas This Year

The trees are bare
The ground is brown
Ain't no snow coming round
It don't feel much like Christmas this year
The neighborhood is brightly lit
With front yards full of plastic [*****]
But it don't feel much like Christmas this year

BRIDGE:
The family circle has shrunken down
Not much left in this northern town
Silent nights in front of me
I just might torch this Christmas tree

Where's the joy
The peace the hope
The world keeps playing rope-a-dope
It don't feel much like Christmas this year

BRIDGE
The baby savior
Has left his crib
To grab a Micky D's McRib
It don't feel much like Christmas this year
Living in this ho-ho hell
Waiting for the last noel
It don't feel much like Christmas this year
