    WHITE CHRISTMAS by Irving Berlin | original piano/vocal version https://youtu.be/5XS78WU_nrM


    VERSE

    The globe is warming; the polar winds,
    Are starting to blow this way,
    And so we have got today,
    A blizzard, you'd have to say.
    But, even though it is Christmas eve,
    Santa will sadly get no reprieve.

    CHORUS

    I'm reeling from a white Christmas,
    Unlike the ones I used to know,
    Where the flights are grounded,
    And cars impounded,
    By fierce Arctic-driven snow.

    I'm reeling from a white Christmas.
    Is this an atmospheric sleight?
    Heck, the eggnog's getting me tight,
    When I think of Christmases this white!

    QUESTION: Do you want this saved for next December's Xenofilkia
    or should it appear in the February Xenofilkia?
