Blue Christmas
Rachael Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas for certain
And when that blue blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas
[ guitar ]
And when those blue heartaches start hurtin'
I'll have a blue mem'ry for certain
You'll be doing alright...




You'll be doing alright...
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

Omg. My girl terrie (lab mix) loves raw pumpkin. Halloween night carving is her favorite. Lot's of little treats.

@kathe.o.

What is going on with ya'll's house situation? Do ya'll plan to stay in the 'guest house's or rebuild a mega mansion like the one where the fire took most everything?
Rachel please save your recipes to a thing you can put in a fire proof box or safety deposit box. My heart ached for you when you said 30 years worth of your work went up in smoke.
Ya'll 😷-up. Stay safe. Take care.
GOD BLESS!
