The Christmas Song - The Petersens (LIVE)

🇳🇿 New Zealand Australia Tour 2025 🇦🇺 Tickets and tour info: 🇺🇸 Christmas Shows in Branson, MO 🇺🇸 Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 PM until January 4th (and some Saturdays) ----------------------- Merry Christmas, friends!!! Thank you for another wonderful year of music. This song is so jazzy we couldn’t resist asking dad to join us on the saxophone and he was a blast to have on stage again on tour to surprise people with for the encore. The outro is fun because our grandma, Jeannine, is 92 and Macy is 1! Special times for our family for sure :) P.S. A reminder, we will be back with our Branson show in mid March.

Microphones by Ear Trumpet Labs ►LYRICS - The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother’s child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you ►The Petersens: We celebrate American roots music with family values, and perform full time in Branson, Missouri in the USA. The band consists of four siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, our mom Karen, and good friend Emmett Franz.
