It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

A great Christmas song by Meredith Willson. I added an intro: "Oh...my very, very favorite time of the year. Kids laughing, family and friends hugging. The smell of the tree and of the Turkey dinner roasting in the oven. Hey...it's Christmas time once again". The song lyrics are slightly revised to bring them current in that most young people know not what a "five and ten" cent store is or was, and to remove references to pistols that shoot and just dolls for girls. We now reflect on the WalMart Store, transformers, gift cards and Ugg boots. I also added some verbal filler in the musical interlude that goes "decorating the house along with your spouse, trying out a new sled with your grandchildren and always, the Christmas Eve candle-light service at church."
