White Christmas
George Ezra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
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
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"
And may all your Christmases be white
The song "White Christmas" by George Ezra is a cover of the classic Christmas song originally written by Irving Berlin. This song talks about a person's wish for a white Christmas, just like the ones they remember from their childhood. The first stanza speaks of the dreamy and wistful yearning for a white Christmas. The person longs for a time when they were familiar with how the world looked wrapped up in snow. They miss the way the treetops glistened in the snow and how the children listened for the sound of the sleigh bells. This brings up the feeling of nostalgia and the simpler, happier times of the past.
The second stanza maintains a similar tone and describes the hopes for the future. The person expresses their wish for a white Christmas through the Christmas cards they write every year, hoping that their loved ones' days will be merry and bright, just as they are hoping for themselves. The last line repeats the same wish, and gives closure to the song.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the Christmas spirit of hope, joy, and wonder. It takes the listener on a journey down memory lane and plants a seed of hope for the future. It also highlights the universal desire for a perfect Christmas filled with love and happiness.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I am longing for a Christmas where snow covers the ground
Just like the ones I used to know
The thought of a white Christmas reminds me of past holidays
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
In this ideal holiday the snow blankets the trees and children await the sound of sleigh bells
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
The sound of jingle bells in the snow adds to the ambiance of the holiday season
With every Christmas card I write
As I write out Christmas cards, I can't help but wish the snow would fall
"May your days be merry and bright
The sender of the card hopes the recipient enjoys a happy, joyful holiday season
And may all your Christmases be white"
The writer of the card wishes that every Christmas the recipient celebrates will be snowy and picturesque
And may all your Christmases be white
Similar to the previously stated line, the writer hopes the recipient has many snowy holidays in their future
