This Christmas
Frans Walfridsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just like the ones I used to know
when the treetops glissing and children listen
to hear sleedbells in the snow
I'm dreeming of a white christmas
with every chrsitmas card I write
may your days be marry and bright
and may all your christmases be white
da-da-da-da da-da da-dam
I'm dreeming of a white christmas
just like the ones I used to know
may your days be merry and bright
and may all your christmases be white
Frans Walfridsson's song "This Christmas" is a beautiful ode to the holiday season, and in particular to the nostalgia that often accompanies it. The song begins with the lyrics "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas," which immediately brings to mind the classic Irving Berlin song of the same name. However, Walfridsson's version takes a slightly different turn, as he reminisces about the Christmases of his past. He remembers the treetops glistening and the children listening for sleigh bells in the snow, evoking a sense of wonder and magic that often fades as we grow older.
Throughout the song, Walfridsson sings about his hopes for the holiday season, wishing that every Christmas card he writes brings joy to those who receive it, and that all of our Christmases are filled with brightness and merriment. But perhaps the most poignant line of the song is the final one: "and may all your Christmases be white." While this could simply be a reference to snow and the beauty it can bring to the holiday season, it could also be seen as a metaphor for a pure and joyful holiday experience--one that isn't marred by stress or conflict, but is filled with love and peace.
