Lyrics

It’s Christmas time again this year

Can’t believe it’s already here

Ain’t bought a single thing, o dear

I’m so far behind

I like to get my shopping done before

The lines get long in all the stores

I’ll spend more than we can afford

But hey it’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time again you see

Lets go pick out the perfect tree

Is it leaning left or is it just me

Ah, honey looks just fine

We’ll hang the tinsel, string the lights

These ornaments will take all night

It’s a lot of work but that’s alright

It’s Christmas time.

We’ll eat too much and then we’ll swear again

That come New Year, we’re gettin in

The best shape that we’ve ever been

But we know we’re lying

So pass the pie and one more roll

And pass me that remote control

Ah, lookey’ here, I love this show

It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time, who’s at the door

I’m sure there’s room for 7 more

We’ll make some pallets on the floor

That’ll be just fine

The turkeys done, pull up a chair

Grab a hand, lets say a prayer

For all those soldiers over there

You know it’s Christmas time

We’ll wrap the gifts in green and red

You kids get back up in your bed

For Santa wont come in his sled

He’ll just fly right by

Then we’ll wake up in an hour or two

To mommy look, this ones for you

Oh I love it hun, I really do

It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time again, you know

It hit me just an hour ago

It ain’t about mistletoe

Lets keep that in mind

It’s about the star that led the way

The baby child born that day

It’s cause of him, we all say

It’s Christmas time

A 73-YEAR-OLD LEGEND. ONE SONG. THREE GENERATIONS. Last night didn’t feel like a concert. It felt like a living room with 20,000 people breathing together.Bubba Strait walked out first. Calm. Grounded. Then little Harvey followed, boots a bit too big, hands a little tight.The opening notes of “I Cross My Heart” floated in.George Strait didn’t sing. He sat there. Quiet. Seventy-three years of roads and nights, folded into one chair.A son who knows the stories.A grandson who knows the name.Near the end, there was a pause. George looked down and smiled—soft, almost private.Some songs become hits. Others become inheritance.

HE SANG THAT HE WOULDN’T SURVIVE THE NIGHT… AND FATE WAS LISTENING. Keith Whitley had it all: a voice that was the envy of Nashville, a beautiful wife, and skyrocketing fame. That morning, he kissed his wife goodbye, promising to call when she returned from her tour. It was just an ordinary morning, filled with coffee and plans for a new album. But in the silence of that empty room, the demons of loneliness and alcohol returned to find him. No one knows exactly what transpired during those final hours. The radio continued to play his songs, that sweet voice ringing out across bars everywhere, while the singer himself was slowly fading away on a cold, solitary bed. When his close friend discovered him, the glass still sat on the table, but the warmth of life was gone. There is a strange detail regarding the final song he drafted but never had the chance to record; its lyrics bore a chilling resemblance to the very scene in which he was found…

THE GUITAR WEPT IN PLACE OF A LEGEND’S FAREWELL. Jerry Reed was never known for fear. He played the guitar like lightning, laughed loudly, and lived at full volume. But beside Chet Atkins’s hospital bed in his final days, people saw a completely different Jerry. “Mister Guitar” — the man who had discovered and mentored him — could no longer press the strings with hands grown too weak. All their lives, they had teased each other, racing to see who could play faster. That day, Jerry lifted the guitar and played a slow, trembling ballad. No flashy technique. No blistering speed. Only the heart of a student saying goodbye to the greatest teacher he had ever known. Chet closed his eyes, listened, and whispered with a smile, “You win, son.” After Chet passed, it was said that Jerry Reed carried part of his own soul with him. One painful story tells that during his first recording session without Chet, Jerry stopped in the middle of a take, stared at the empty chair in the studio, and spoke a single sentence that made the entire crew fall silent and switch off the machines…

THEY HONORED HIM BEHIND CLOSED DOORS INSIDE THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. NO PUBLIC CROWD. NO GRAND FAREWELL. FOR DON WILLIAMS, QUIET WAS NEVER AN ACT. Seventeen No. 1 singles. Forty-five Top 10 hits. At least one major hit every year from 1974 through 1991. His voice reached listeners around the world, yet the man called the Gentle Giant spent his career avoiding the noise that usually followed fame. In March 2016, he ended six decades in music with one simple sentence: “It’s time to hang my hat up and enjoy some quiet time at home.” There was no farewell tour. Eighteen months later, on September 8, 2017, Don died at 78 after a short illness. That same day, Troy Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash. Country music suddenly had two deaths to mourn, and Don’s quiet passing became the quieter headline. Nineteen days later, his family, friends, and members of the music industry gathered inside the CMA Theater for a private memorial service. The public was not invited. No packed arena. No televised spectacle. Don Williams spent a lifetime proving that a man did not have to be loud to be unforgettable. Even his goodbye made the same point.

THE REID BLOODLINE: WHEN MUSIC RUNS DEEPER THAN TALENT — IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY. Some bands are built by contracts. Some by coincidence. And then there are The Statler Brothers — built by blood. In 1959, Don Reid was just 14 years old when he joined his older brother Harold’s music group. Not for fame. Not for money — back then, they often paid ten dollars for the privilege of performing. Simply because Harold needed a voice, and Don had exactly that voice. Harold sang bass. Don sang lead. Two brothers — two voices — forming the backbone of a group that would reshape country music for nearly half a century. But the Reid legacy didn’t stop at that generation. Wil and Langdon Reid — sons of Harold and Don respectively — followed the same musical path, forming a duo of their own in the 1990s. Music wasn’t a career choice in this family. It was the mother tongue. After the group retired, Don Reid built a second career as an author — eleven books, from intimate Statler memoirs to original fiction. Harold carried that legendary bass voice until 2020. The man is gone. The sound never left. One family. One bloodline. One legacy country music will never stop singing about. Between Harold and Don Reid — whose contribution moves you more, and why?

THIRTY-FOUR DAYS AFTER THE PLANE WENT DOWN, SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HIS SECOND SON — A 29-YEAR-OLD OPRY STAR LEFT WITH A TODDLER, A NEWBORN, AND HER HUSBAND’S VOICE CLIMBING TOWARD NO. 1 ON EVERY RADIO IN NASHVILLE. On March 5, 1963, Hawkshaw Hawkins boarded a Piper Comanche in Dyersburg, Tennessee, flying home from a benefit show in Kansas City. The plane went down near Camden at 6:29 p.m., killing Hawkins, Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas, and pilot Randy Hughes. At the farm in Goodlettsville, Jean Shepard was eight months pregnant, with their fifteen-month-old son, Don Robin, asleep in the house. They had married on November 26, 1960 — on the stage of a Wichita, Kansas auditorium, in front of a paying crowd, because the road was the only place their schedules ever met. Jean was never a singer’s wife. She had taken “A Dear John Letter” to No. 1 in 1953 at nineteen and joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1955, in a decade with almost no room for a woman singing hard country. Three days before the crash, King Records had released Hawkins’ comeback single, “Lonesome 7-7203” — a song about a man leaving his telephone number for a love that never calls back. On the chart dated May 4, 1963, it reached No. 1 and held there four weeks. The biggest hit of his twenty-five-year career arrived where he could no longer hear it. On April 8, 1963, Jean gave birth to Harold Franklin Hawkins II, a son his father never saw. She came close to leaving the business for good. What she chose instead, and the record she eventually cut about two little boys, remains the part of that crash filed away under someone else’s name.

HANK WILLIAMS JR. TOOK WAYLON’S VERSE. GEORGE JONES TOOK JOHNNY’S. WILLIE AND KRIS SANG THEIR OWN. That was “Highwayman” at the Ryman Auditorium on November 10, 2003, at the Johnny Cash Memorial Tribute. Jimmy Webb wrote four verses into that song and it needs four voices to work, and by that night only two of the men who made it famous were still alive to stand there. Waylon Jennings had been gone twenty months. Johnny Cash had been gone fifty-nine days. Kristofferson, Nelson and Jones had already sung “Big River” near the top of the show. Rosanne Cash sang “I Still Miss Someone.” Sheryl Crow sang “Hurt.” The whole night ran close to three hours in a room that understood exactly what it was sitting through. Five days later CMT aired a two-hour edit, and “Highwayman” was not in it. A reviewer who was there wrote that it may have drawn the biggest response of the entire evening. The people inside the Ryman watched four men finish a song its original four voices could no longer sing. Everybody watching at home got the edit.
