This is a Christmas song about a couple's first Christmas alone together. The song is very mildly risque.

Blues-influenced songster, churning out songs never-before heard about food, love, work, teaching Spanish, and more.
In an effort to get my music out into the world and to hone my writing practice, I'm starting a Song-A-Week project I'll attempt to release one brand new song per week for a year, starting today, Sunday, May 14th, 2006, and continuing through Sunday, May 13, 2007. Traditionally I, like most people, have written about love and sex — attraction, frustration, satisfaction, the works. As evidenced by the first song in my new series (about a job interview for a lame job), I'm trying to break out of this mold a bit more with my new series of songs... that said, I remain ever myself, and surely there will be more songs about love and whatnot.

Story behind the song
I thought about a couple together at Christmas who hadn't done any of the Christmas stuff, but had a lot of the Christmas spirit.
Lyrics
So the snow didn't come, So we never got a tree, So it still don't quite feel like home When it's just you and me. Well it's our first Christmas alone And we don't have much Christmas crap But no amount of holiday charm Could compare to what we have... They've got light-up reindeers pulling plastic sleighs They've got a thousand kinds of Christmas lights Well you and me we've got other ways Should we choose to light up the night. ... It's our first Christmas alone And we don't have much Christmas crap So we never bought anything at the mall We still got gifts to unwrap It don't take wrapping paper to unwrap your love, It don't take ribbons and bows. It don't take eggnog to loosen me up And sure as heck don't take mistletoe How about you and me Start our own nativity scene Let's make this family of two Into a family of three Let's make it our last Christmas alone Let's enjoy the peace and quiet I'm thinking not quite a year from now We won't have many silent nights ...
