Even though we should all have Jack-o-lanterns and sexy nurses on our minds, the music biz is already deeply entrenched in the Christmas album wars, and now Christina Perri is getting in the Christmas spirit with a music video for her original holiday tune, "Something About December," off her holiday album, "A Very Merry Perri Christmas," and it's so festive and filled with home movies, her gorgeous face and gives us lots of warm fuzzies. We can never have enough new music during the holidays and this song is the perfect addition!
Ever since Perri was a little kid, she's been writing Christmas songs. But it wasn't until now that she was brave enough to let anyone else hear them. The 26-year-old singer told CBS Local that she's "madly in love" with holiday music, so it was a no-brainer for her to record her own holiday EP. "It's such a big part of my upbringing and my singing in general," she said. "The very first song I sang when I was three was a Christmas song." What else would you expect from the woman who won our hearts with a jar of them?
"Something About December," is the true standout with its warm arrangement and vocal embrace. It'll make you feel all fuzzy inside, and it's a new Christmas classic in its own right as timeless as the tracks she covers on the EP. And to add to her close-knit family-feeling, she wrote this family inspires sentimental Christmas track in July with a little help from her brother Nick. It's a family affair! The two reminisced and even broke into tears. Twice! Some of their memories even made their way into the lyrics, like her mother's whistling, which was one of the things she loves most about this special time of year.
It is not your typical Christmas song, which is precisely why we like it so much. There's no mention of jingle bells or sounds of Rudolph's hoofs trekking through the snow, rather, the song is a lilting piano-driven ballad that speaks not about snowmen and stockings, but mostly about December's nostalgic feelings. Perri explains that the song "is about finding Christmas wherever you are in the world, because it lives in your heart." The Elliot Sellers-directed clip features home video footage from her childhood that make this piano ballad extra personal, and you'll find out why this is so close to her heart!
