I Think it's Christmas - Original Song

Two posts in 24 hours!

I was just really excited to put this out haha. I started writing the first verse randomly and put a bit of it on tiktok, and got a lot of encouragement to flesh out the full song. I finished it yesterday. Normally I wait months after writing an original to even think about posting it - but what am I gonna do, wait till next Christmas? Who knows, maybe by then I will be having the time of my life and the song just won't fit.

This is definitely the most personal thing I've put out there so far so it's a bit scary. A year and a half ago I could never imagine putting out an original song, and especially have people I KNOW listen to it! Anyway, here it is. If you're like me and are feeling the sad side of Christmas nostalgia these days for whatever reason, this song is for you as well.

Regardless, I hope you all are having a good break these days. Writing everything out is getting me through some tough times. I hope you like this song.

PS. I put a small melody of an actual Christmas carol in the chorus :) and if you read all of this you are officially cool.
