A Christmas Love
Johnny Kaye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That′s wrapped in mistletoe
Is truly apropos
It has that tinsel glow
We met on Christmas Eve
And I got the greatest gift I could receive
A Christmas love
The kind I'm speaking of
Is blessed from up above
Angelic and divine
How else can I define
A Christmas love like yours and mine
How else can I define
A Christmas love like yours and mine
In Johnny Kaye's song "A Christmas Love," the singer celebrates the beauty of love during the Christmas season. The lyrics suggest that a "Christmas love" - a love that is wrapped in mistletoe and has a "tinsel glow" - is truly special and is a gift from above. The song tells the story of the singer's own experience of finding this special love on Christmas Eve, and how this love is defined by its angelic and divine qualities.
The use of mistletoe as a symbol of love is a traditional motif in Christmas songs and stories. Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows on trees, and according to old European folklore, if two people stand underneath it together, they must kiss. The use of this symbol in "A Christmas Love" suggests that the love between the singer and his partner is both romantic and traditional. The tinsel glow mentioned in the lyrics could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the special feeling of warmth and joy that comes with the Christmas season.
The second half of the song elaborates on the special qualities of a "Christmas love." The lyrics suggest that this kind of love is blessed by God and is therefore more pure and sacred than other kinds of love. The repetition of the phrase "How else can I define? A Christmas love like yours and mine" reinforces the idea that the singer cannot find words to capture the full beauty and significance of this love.

Johnny Kaye had such a nice voice. Yes, many know he sounds like Perry Como, but that’s his voice. His voice can be found on many albums, mostly Christmas, but not restricted. I have one of his Christmas album and his name is no where to be found on it, but sings all the songs. On another label, he appeared as Anthony Giannini.
