I mean, it's not awful. This song, along with Santa Baby are hard to really say anything insightful about because they are just so freaking boring. They're not the worst Christmas covers of all time, for that just listen to Silent Night, but they do absolutely nothing to make me excited about Christmas. Getting people hyped about time with family, lovin' Jesus, and opening presents is what Christmas is all about and this song doesn't do any of it! Playing in the snow is great too, but this song doesn't even make me want to do that.
The music isn't all that bad, but at this point I'm really starting to realize how poorly acoustic guitars go with Christmas music. Despite this, my favorite aspect of this song is how it actually sounds like it's in the country music genre without sounding awful, something none of the other songs on this album quite manage. The chosen instruments go well not only with each other, but also with Taylor's voice and the pacing of the song. It's not enough to make me actively enjoy listening to it, but I can easily tolerate it.
I really wish I had more to say, but my lack of input mostly is a result of this song not giving me much to work with, good or bad. And remember, a boring song is worse than a bad song! At least you'll remember a bad song and maybe even get a kick out if. So I guess today's post will be a short one! By the way, my ranking for the songs on this album has changed since I started listening to it, and I'll be posting the updated list on the final song review in a couple days. Until then, have a good one.
See you tomorrow,
