Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. ❄️

Last week, I released my SECOND parody! If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s “I’m Dreaming of Thanksgiving Dinner.”😋

This week, I wanted to share another song from my Live at the High Noon series. Here is my original song “Temptation.”

We are only 20 days away from Christmas Eve! 🎄

The recent snow that we had here in Madison has made everything look so BEAUTIFUL. 🤍

It’s also made listening to Christmas music more magical! 🎅🏻

One Christmas song that brings me a lot of joy is “Sleigh Ride” by The Ronettes.🛷

Lyrics:

Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin’, ring-ting-a-tingling too
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling “Yoo-hoo!”
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy and cozy are we
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy and cozy are we
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)

The song is so cheerful and makes me want to dance!

I really appreciate the upbeat tempo and enthusiasm in the “Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding” lines. 😄

I love the line “We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.” 🐦 It’s such COZY imagery! 💜

What do you think of the song?

Since December marks Christmas carol time, I’ll leave you with my 2020 cover of “Good King Wenceslas.” ⛄

May you be well! 💚
