The Christmas Song
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide 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
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies in 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 it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies in 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 it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

@Heather King so untrue lol, like the satanic hall of fame is so heavenly 🤦♀️
Heather King
@Kirsten Baisner so Untrue this woman ha huge soul and her soul belongs to our Heavenly Father and she felt other pain so much it mentally effected her also , this woman done so much for so many that you will never know or hear about bc she didn't go around telling all that...if you ever worked in Franklin Tennessee in the stores in town you've probably been handed a 100 dollar bill from her , she would pull them out of her top and hand all the workers 100 dollar bill , this wasn't random either everytime she came in, she worked alot with the animals charities for animals and mental health charities, the hepatitis charities she done so much for ...This was during covid and the quarantine and staying home and her mother Polly passing in 2019 put her into another bad depression so that's what your seeing right here. She would have good days and bad ones as anyone in a severe depression knows , but she was having a bad time here and in here 2022 cma house tour and her interview day before the cmas she was fine the Naomi we all knew and then the next night she was looking rough so that's shows how each day is different. ..Such a cheap shot to speak about someone else's soul when they've suffered so much and no longer here , it shows how soulless someone who would do that truly is and how they need to look into the darkness in their own soul and deal with that before its to late ..

I am. And you think yourself. Damn , why did she have to go like that, why. And still can't wrap my head around it. I know they're still grieving as well. Something like that just hits ya like a ton of bricks.

Looking at this now, she seems, tired already. This is so incredibly gut wrenching. Love you, Naomi. You sure gave it great shot. Thank you for all the great music and the 2 beautiful, hugely talented daughters. You all gave so much to all of us. I hope you’re finally truly at peace and out of pain 💔😞

My heart is breaking. She just looks so sad and distant 😞 I’ve been there…I know the look

I watched this before Naomi died and saw that she seemed to be struggling. Sometimes being on high powered antidepressants can make everything dull. Her sparkle wasn't there. There were times when it looked as if Wynonna was holding her hand so tightly trying to will Naomi's healing. It's all so sad.

@D M right. the powerful electro currents had to have had a negative effect to her brain function.
