Well, I've found myself listening to Christmas music lately, and of course, with Christmas comes a whole lot of Sufjan music. But recently I heard the winner of Sufjan's "The Great Sufjan Song Xmas Xchange." It's about love, it would fit on any black and white variety show, and showcases Christmas at it's best. It's perfect. I can't wait for Christmas time to come rolling along, just so it's acceptable to play this song 24/7. So I thought today's post would just be the magnificent lyrics from this amazing little tune, of which I've become addicted.
I think it's better to listen along to it whilst viewing lyrics, so you can stream it
here or download it here

NOTE: I used to update the download link for people because I've somehow become the number three search on google for "alec duffy" (actually, the number one if you put it in quotes like I showed), but I'm sick of it. If you need to find a download of it just google it. It will only take a few minutes of searching.

Alec Duffy - Every Day Is Christmas
I walk down the street and see a wintry wonderland
The candles in the windows and the salvation army band
All the people wandering 'round in a sudden state of glee
But all of those people, they ain't me.
I smell in the air pine needles fresh and new
And everyone's cheeks have got a pleasant rosy hue
They've got visions of the gifts that underneath their tree will lie
But to that I say, "Not I."
For I've got a secret that no one else can know
That keeps my temperament even during times of snow
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow
It lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you
Jolly old Saint Nick and the little elves as well as Charlie Brown
all help at the holidays to keep folks from feeling down
And people in their homes love to decorate their tree
But I don't need none of that, no, not me.
Trolling the aisles at the local mega super store
I see crazy flashing gadgets on every single floor
But I don't need that fancy stuff, no way, no surrey
Cause your love is so much better than a plasma screen TV
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow
She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you
Now some might say it's unfair and severe
That I get a Christmas gift each day of the year
To them I would say that I've no guarantee
But maybe one day they'll find someone as sweet as she
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow
She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
But everyday is Christmas
Yes everyday I deck the halls
Everyday is Christmas when I'm with you.
