in which being by a fire side is a good thing

so, have you ever wanted to play a christmas song during a non-christmasy time of year? c'mon - it's okay. i won't tell. you can admit it. i've got a couple - and i think, secretly, i've always assumed it's okay because they don't outwardly scream holiday song. you know what i mean - jingle bells in the background, choirs, soaring vocals? not that there's anything wrong with that (if that's your cup of tea), but in july, even as little as five seconds can tip someone off that you've got the holiday tunes on. and if you're around peeps like the husband, who feels it's a crime against humanity for christmas tunes to play earlier than the day after thanksgiving and after you finish christmas dinner, then you have to be stealthy.



by the fire side with you, by ellen and the escapades, is just such a stealthy song! it's adorable - sweet, simple, and easy on the ears. more importantly, it made me want to find more from this band (in a non-christmas capacity, of course!)




merry christmas to you
here's a greeting for the old and the new
children out playing in the snow
laughing and singing with their cheeks all aglow
and snowflakes were falling on my shoes
so i said i'd rest up by the fire side with you
and snowflakes were falling on my shoes
so i said i'd rest up by the fire sides with you
