Christmas Tunes

A teenage girl sang this song in church on Sunday - it was the first time in a long time I'd heard it and it was very refreshing.



This song came on Call FM as we were driving home from the Keys tonight.  It's by KJ52 - a hip hop artist from Ft. Myers.  I like hip hop and break dancing (in certain doses) and I think the lyrics of this song are pretty meaningful.  Having Christmas without winter is just something you get used to down here:

Down here its hot all year, let me make it plain and clear, ‘Ain't got no reindeer, all it does is rain here
So if you wanna stay here, you betta bring the rain gear, Snow ain't ever came here, all we get is hurricanes yeah
But don’t hate on me if I’m down at the beach on Christmas eve, You lookin at strange to me , I got a grape fruit put it on a Christmas tree

 The last part is a reminder that Christmas is about Jesus, not frosty weather or presents.  And I think for this transplant, that is a message I need every year.
