what a beautiful song... warm and human. Just what we need at this time of year

[@gustanski]

Thank you Tracey for all of your amazing songs but especially this one. My sister died at Christmas 2 years ago from a long struggle with cancer. Your words are so true. When someone very dear Calls you with the words "everything's all clear " That's what you want to hear But you know it might be different in the New Year

[@Cirelli_Ryan]

I’ve never been able to make it through this song- without falling apart. It hits HARD

[@tomsparks6099]

Thank you Randy Sharp for referring me in my grief to to this beautiful song of sadness and hope.

[@juliaogden6462]

What a beautiful song

[@mickhurley7305]

When Wham are Christmas number 1 and this song is nowhere to be heard, we can be assured the world is rudderless.

[@hichamkabnani5535]

je te respecte, bravo vraie artiste, pas comme les artistes de deux pièces, l'art de l'écoute n'est pas comme l'art mixte je veux dire yeux et oreille.

[@mikemoonrip6745]

Always my go to Christmas track. Exceptional work!

[@MorrisEaddy]

Love this so much!

[@JohnnyCatFitz]

I had to disagree w a friend about the last lyric line. I say " make up Christmas night" is about creating a wondrous mythical religious story, not like a couple making up after a fight. Anyone else weigh in?

[@camerondale2277]

Yeah, I agree with you. I’ve always interpreted the line to mean “We” (mankind) “must be alright” (despite our tendency to act like a pack of total cunts a lot of the time) “if we can make up Christmas night” (something that for most of us is beautiful, pure and innocent.) it’s like no matter how concerned I get about the morality of the human race, Christmas time particularly restores my faith in people and reminds me that good outweighs evil. Peace, x

[@cellonoxius1]

PERFECT!!!!😊😊😊

[@davidsteel6437]

I don’t think it is meant to be religious. My own take is that it is about the relationship/companionship of the human condition. I think it’s just about the coming together and forgiving any issues. If you put this together with other tracks on the album that makes sense. There is a line in her cover of Ron Sexsmith’s song “ Maybe this Christmas “ “And maybe forgiveness will ask us to call Someone we love, someone we've lost For reasons we can’t quite recall Maybe this Christmas” I sort of join that together

First! Great video.
