I was feeling sad and wrote a song - the next day I recorded it at home and asked a few friends to help me make a video...sometimes happy distractions are the magic we need <3

Check out the video here :

lyrics

Chocolates almost gone, just a few sleeps away
Nothing else feels familiar these days
No snow on the ground, no Santa at the mall
No mistletoe hanging from the shop wall
Are we really sure, really sure are we really sure
That its almost Christmas
Usually by now I'd have lights on my tree
But life's been really hard so I've ignored some things
Usually I'd have my secret Santa picked
All my friends would squish into my tiny apartment
Are we really sure, really sure are we really sure
That its almost Christmas

Cause if theres one thing this year has taught me
Its sometimes the truth is ugly
And there are days when I just wanna quit
But that same pain it has a way to make me
Fall back in love with all the things I didn’t know I'd miss
So it doesn’t feel like Christmas but thats my
Christmas wish

For the first time in our lives
Made snow globes with old jars
And toys we found around and acorns from the yard
Made ginger house from scratch and nah, it didn't break
Bonfires at the park, ate s’mores until we ached
Gotta make the most, make the most
Gotta make the most of this Christmas

Cause if theres one thing this year has taught me
Its sometimes the truth is ugly
And there are days when I just wanna quit
But that same pain it has a way to make me
Fall back in love with all the things I didn’t know I'd miss
So it doesn’t feel like Christmas but thats my
Christmas wish

So thank you for all the times this year it was hard to breathe
Helped me see the distractions in my life and what I need
Its the little things, its the little things
Its checking in on grandma to ask about her day
Running into friends. Seeing a smiling face
Dressing up for Christmas parties everyday and sharing a cab without a worry
It's hugs. Never thought I'd miss hugs.

But if theres one thing this year has taught me
Its sometimes the truth is ugly
And there are days when I just wanna quit
But that same pain it has a way to make me
Fall back in love with all the things
I didn’t know I'd miss
It doesn’t feel like Christmas but thats my Christmas wish

It's almost Christmas.
