Christmas
D. Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day in whole L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north
So I can have my very own white Christmas
Oh yeah

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write




May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white, be white

Overall Meaning

D. Love's song "Christmas" is a beautiful, nostalgic ballad that reflects on the traditional Christmas scenes of the past. In the first verse of the song, the artist expresses his desire to relive those moments and witness the magical ambiance of snow and gleaming treetops. He reminisces about how as kids, they would scan the skies with wide-eyed wonder, listening intently for the coming of the sleigh bells announcing Santa's arrival. The lyrics capture the essence of an ideal white Christmas, a day when everything seems perfect, and the world is at peace.


In the following verse, D. Love juxtaposes this picturesque imagery with the sunny, warm environment of California. He describes the sunshine, green grass, orange trees, and palms swaying, normal California weather in winter. Despite the beauty of the present setting, the artist longs for the snow-capped mountains of his youth and a chance for his personal white Christmas.


The chorus features a simple lyric that encapsulates the heart of the song. It speaks of wishing anyone reading his Christmas card, to have a "merry and bright" holiday season and hopes that all their Christmases are white, a nod to the innocence and joy of childhood Christmases. The song's overall tone is one of longing and hopefulness, a desire to recreate the ideal scene of Christmas while acknowledging that it may be harder to achieve as we grow older.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I am hoping for a holiday season with snowy conditions


Just like the ones I used to know
Similar to the wonderful Christmases from my past


Where the treetops glisten,
Observing the trees covered in sparkling snow


And children listen
Kids await and hear the sleigh bells ring


To hear sleigh bells in the snow, snow
Listening to the sound of jingle bells ringing while it's snowing


With every Christmas card I write
As I prepare holiday greeting cards


May your days be merry and bright
Wishing you a happy and cheerful holiday season


And may all your Christmases be white
Hoping all of your holiday seasons are full of snow


The sun is shining, the grass is green
It's a beautiful day in L.A. with clear skies and green foliage


The orange and palm trees sway
The palm and orange trees are drifting in the breeze


There's never been such a day in whole L.A.
This is an extraordinary day in Los Angeles


But it's December the twenty-fourth
Despite the warm weather, it is still Christmas Eve


And I am longing to be up north
I am longing to be in a colder, more wintery environment


So I can have my very own white Christmas
So I can experience my own snowy holiday season, despite my current location


Oh yeah
An enthusiastic exclamation

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home

The church bells in town
All singing in sound
Full of happy sounds
Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back this tear
But it's Christmas day
Please
Please
Please
Please
Baby please come home
