The Christmas Song 2
Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jack frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
The Christmas Song, also known as Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, is a holiday classic written by Mel Tormé and Bob Wells. Nat King Cole's rendition of the song, featuring his daughter Natalie Cole, is one of the most popular versions. The lyrics of the song create a cozy and nostalgic Christmas atmosphere. The opening line, "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire," sets the scene for a warm holiday experience. The sound of the chestnuts roasting evokes feelings of comfort and familiarity.
The second line, "Jack frost nipping at your nose," immediately portrays the chilly winter weather while the third line, "Yuletide carols being sung by a choir," captures the joy and spirit of the season. The fourth line, "And folks dressed up like Eskimos," creates a picture of people bundled up in warm attire, enjoying outdoor activities such as caroling, skating or building a snowman. Together, the four lines of the song set a festive holiday scene.

I send prayers that the treatments works. Allow yourself to live experiences that you never dared to live before, and don't let fear take on you (sounds silly, but anti-anxiety herb tea like passiflora-valerian really helped me when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer). Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!

And to you. And don't forget the reason for Christmas - the incarnation of God.
