It took me 20+ years to hear this for the first time, and even then it was a total accident. Now I play it incessantly every Christmas. Can’t help but smile when it’s playing.
Oh wow, she mentions A&P grocery store, hahaha who else remembers A&P? Hahaha, awesome throwback there mentioned! Classic Christmas track, that's for sure! I'll always love this Christmas trk, right up there with artists Chris Rea & George Michaels' awesome Christmas hits. Forever year after year embedded in our hearts during the holiday season! 👍❤️🦌🎀🎄Mary, or I mean Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Be safe! 😁☺️😉🎄🎄
I don’t hear it on the radio anymore. In the NYC area there about 3 radio stations that play Christmas music. None of them play it anymore. Last year we heard it maybe twice. This year none. My wife and I love it.
40 years later , does everyone get “ wrapping “ is “ rapping” which was in its heyday in ‘81.... the bassline is actually Chic s Good Times , sampled for “ Rappers Delight” --- ahhhhhhhh
Most of '81 passed along those lines 1981? (the year this was released) That makes me wonder if this wasn't just a song, but something that was really happening to one of the singers.
Lyrics: "Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong 'Cause it is my favorite holiday But all this year's been a busy blur Don't think I have the energy To add to my already mad rush Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.

So deck those halls, trim those trees Raise up cups of Christmas cheer, I just need to catch my breath, Christmas by myself this year. Calendar picture, frozen landscape, Chilled this room for twenty-four days, Evergreens, sparkling snow Get this winter over with! Flashback to springtime, saw him again, Would've been good to go for lunch, Couldn't agree when we were both free, We tried, we said we'd keep in touch. Didn't, of course, 'til summertime, Out to the beach to his boat could I join him? No, this time it was me, Sunburn in the third degree. Now the calendar's just one page And, of course, I am excited Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind Not to do too much about it. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

You two stupid broads need to spend a couple of weeks in Indonesia sewing shirts 12 hours a day for four cents a week. Get a life. Oh, sorry....get a fucking life because you suck.

I heard it as we speak at work and instantly looked up the lyrics haha.
Same😂
Then what to my wondering ears came along,
But The Waitresses playing my favorite song?
I heard it at work every other day for the last month obviously and it improved my mood instantly :)
Yes, me too!
I once read an interview with the writer. As with so many great Christmas songs, it was recorded on a blazing hot summer’s day.
This is my favorite Christmas song!!!
Mine Too!
Same
Best Christmas song of all time. Fast, upbeat, woth great lyrics and melody. RIP Patty Donahue.
Best introduction of a character in Cobra Kai IMO.
Not to many Christmas songs with an slamming bass line. Luv this 💓
I know right? Great bass line in this tune! Love it! Great holiday track!
A seasonal classic. No other Christmas song like it!
It's the best!
LOVE It especially after hearing it on Ali Mills return to Cobra Kai!
Best Christmas song ever recorded! I listen to it all year long! Merry Christmas!🎄

What a beast of a baseline. Love this song! Lyrics crack me up too.
And saxophone for the windies....

I don’t hear it on the radio anymore. In the NYC area there about 3 radio stations that play Christmas music. None of them play it anymore. Last year we heard it maybe twice. This year none. My wife and I love it.
:D I knew if I searched around long enough, I'd find one that has the instrumental. Thanks for including it!
Alberta Rose Haven't made a video in a while! Should probably start again if I'm actually helping! :)
This is my favorite Christmas song
I can't believe those guys never noticed Josh in their trunk.
Very wonderful!!!!
40 years later , does everyone get “ wrapping “ is “ rapping” which was in its heyday in ‘81.... the bassline is actually Chic s Good Times , sampled for “ Rappers Delight” --- ahhhhhhhh
Mine, too! Finally figured out who sings it. Classic 👍!
Yhis is My Favorite Christmas Song … ;)
🙌🎄2023🎄🙌
Defo best xmas song
Now it all makes sense. Thanks for post
Secret Galaxy brought me here
LOL, I think this is a "new" Christmas song, it is 40 years old! 😄
In Thomas's winter party adventure that I created, Toby is a tram engine.
Its just so sassy
I love this
Thank you!
Heard this at Target today, saw a girl with cool short black hair like mine, too bad I have social anxiety. Womp wommmp
So me, however if I could be so lucky!
It is actually 16 seconds but it is a 8 beat on repeat
I’m here because of free rein twelve neighs of Christmas (only on Netflix)
The waitresses sing it better than kylie minogue
O.K., maybe it's "A&P has pr'vided me..." Anyway, it's a magnificent song. Patty Donahue, may she R.I.P.
I love this song so much I can’t Evan stop 🛑 singing it love 💕 it
Most of '81 passed along those lines

That makes me wonder if this wasn't just a song, but something that was really happening to one of the singers.
Lyrics:
"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from
Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.
Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's are-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.
A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too? "
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending! "
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Thanks for the lyrics,, bass is great

Sad story about the singer: She was a heavy smoker and died of lung cancer at age 40.

Who first heard this song from "Drake & Josh Christmas" like I did?
I beg somehow that this song becomes a new Christmas classic. I’m so tired of hearing the exact same shit.
Gilmore Girls.
Whoever transcribed the lyrics for the video didn't major in English.
Wrong in several places, e.g., shouldn't it be "ski shop, encounter", "A&P has prided me", "No lies, that guy I've been chasing all year", "And we couldn't miss this one this year"? Instead of lazily letting the Internet perpetuate errors, doesn't anyone ever check independently?
In your version of the song, instead of the words “Last year, ski shop,” use the words “Anal, retentive.”
Oh, and Merry Christmas!
@@Panglos lol agreed
I would like to hear Gwen Stefani and Pink do a duo sing this song
How come?
very catchy song. its dying to be redone with a contemporary singer and perhaps better rhyming lyrics.
Hi
Hi..
Drake and josh brought me here
This is the worse Christmas song ever...!!! I fucking hate it 😊
Cristina Jimenez I don’t like any Christmas song I’m just here cause it sucks
You two stupid broads need to spend a couple of weeks in Indonesia sewing shirts 12 hours a day for four cents a week. Get a life. Oh, sorry....get a fucking life because you suck.
drsunshine1959 why does that have anything to do with a Christmas song 😂😂
No one asked for you twos opinions I love this song and no one cares if you don’t, have nothing nice to say then don’t say it at all
