Get your dancing shoes on! I'm writing today about "The Christmas Waltz", one of my favorite Christmas songs! You probably just went "huh??" when I said that, thinking you've never heard this song before, but you have. Trust me. You have probably been the victim of some bad versions though, so I suggest you check out versions by Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, or She & Him.
I love this song for multiple reasons:
1) It's in 3/4 time. In fact, the song is even more awesome for saying it's in 3/4 time.
Don't know what 3/4 time is? Have a looky.
2) I love the picture it paints of Christmas. It makes me want to snuggle by a fire (my version of snuggle means I sit in shorts and a tank top with an ice cold water, sweating while the fireplace is on). But still, it makes me want to.
3) It makes me want to dance wherever I am whenever I hear it.
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true"
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
If anyone is enjoying this, I'd love to hear what your favorite Christmas songs are! Leave me a comment!
