It just so happened that this song was also in a concert with a couple other barn burner Christmas songs and I distinctly remember one performance night thinking I was gonna faint because it was so physically taxing to sing this many intense songs repeatedly in the concert series. Yeah, I'd be fine never singing this song ever again but I keep it on the list as an authentic remind…
