Being a fan of Phil Spector's "wall of sound" production work (and hair styles!), I love his Christmas Album from 1963. That is the direction I took the ship this week.
lyrics
The lights will shine bright because Christmas time is here
The gifts are wrapped so tight because Christmas time is here
The kids have forgotten June because Christmas time is here
They know Santa's coming soon it's the Christmas time of year
The town is white, from all the snow
Above every tree, an angel glows
The stores are filled with toys because Christmas time is here
For all the girls and boys because Christmas time is here
The smell of a tinseled tree because Christmas time is here
The halls are decked to see it's the Christmas time of year
And on the eve of Christmas day
Santa fills his magic sleigh
Christmas time is a joyful time
A special time of year
Christmas time is the only time
To live in the Christmas cheer
