The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No sign of snow around;
And yet I go around hearing jingle bells ringing in my ear,
Your promise must be the reason,
The happy season is here;
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year
The Rat Pack, comprising Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., released Christmas Dreaming in 1957. The song is about someone who cannot wait for Christmas to come around, and is already daydreaming about it, even though there is no snow or other signs of the season. They hear jingle bells ringing in their ear and believe that it must be because of a promise made to them, maybe from a loved one or a friend.
During the song, the lyrics talk about how the promise made them feel hopeful and brought the happy season into their hearts. They explain how they are already planning for Christmas by purchasing decorations, wrapping paper, and other items. This is a beautiful love song that describes the joy of the holiday season and the hope that it provides.
In summary, the lyrics to Christmas Dreaming by the Rat Pack express a deep longing for the holiday season, even before it has officially arrived. The hope and happiness that Christmas brings are evident in the promise made, and the anticipation of its arrival is becoming too much to bear. The song reminds us all of the joy and love that can be found during the holiday season, even in the absence of snow and other traditional signs of the season.

I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year,
I am thinking about Christmas earlier than usual this year
No sign of snow around;
Despite the lack of snow, I am still thinking about Christmas
And yet I go around hearing jingle bells ringing in my ear,
I am so excited for Christmas that I can almost hear the sound of jingle bells
Your promise must be the reason,
The reason for my excitement is likely due to a promise you made to me
The happy season is here;
The joyful holiday season has arrived
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year
Therefore, I am thinking about Christmas ahead of schedule
