The lyrics read:
Mistletoe, Christmas lights…
This season makes me feel so light
Gives me smiles, gives me life, makes me hopeful for the next year in due time
Remember in the start when everything went to hell,
People crying, people dying, that was the trend
We never thought we make it but we did in the end
For those of us that made it let’s be grateful my friend

Mother Nature had us we didn’t know what to do
The world was going crazy yet it made us all blue
The year is finally over let’s see next year’s view
So grab all your loved ones and sing this tune

This Christmas is the time for love
and this Christmas is the time to thank above
This Christmas is the time for living
and this Christmas is the time for new beginnings..
Happy Holidays!
The young woman who derives from Lodge, Georgetown area shared the inspiration behind the song came from her knowing the struggles of this year. “I know a lot of us have gone through a lot of turmoil this year and it tested us so much and it also made us see how strong we are as people of the world. A lot of us did not think that we could make it through 2020,” she said.
She further stated that every time we thought that we were getting a break from the troubles of this year something else hit us, but luckily we are still here, alive and well.
“I just wanted everyone to know that like everything that too shall pass. With this song I wanted to bring light and Hope for the New Year and bring happiness to those who felt that they could not make it,” she gladly expressed.
