Liner notesOn December 1st, 2010, Chicago got our first snowfall of the winter. It put me in the mood for writing a Christmas song, and I originally started working with lines from many standard Christmas songs. I was going to entitle the song "Christmas Cliches". As I continued, the dread of bad weather started entering my mind. There were so many great songs for the holiday, I realized that there weren't too many more positive things you could write about the season, so I focused on the weather. I decided to start out the song with the romanticism of the good things, and then temper it with the harsh reality of things to come in the second verse. At the time my fiance and I were contemplating spending our honeymoon in Hawaii. That sparked the inspiration of placing the performance at a live Christmas concert in Hawaii, and the rest is history! |
