Six Year Old in a Santa Hat
Growing up, my grandmother always told us that Christmas music should never play before Thanksgiving dinner is over — a tradition we held all throughout my childhood, and still do to this day. Last year, after Thanksgiving dinner at my sister’s house, we finally turned on the Christmas music, and what happened next became the inspiration for this song. My six-year-old nephew, caught up in the spirit, put on a Santa hat and led his sister and my son Quinn in a race around the house. Their laughter echoed throughout the house, and that scene was etched in my mind. Watching the pure joy of a six-year-old in a Santa hat became the inspiration for the song. It’s a musical reflection of that moment, a celebration of the joy of Christmas traditions and the boundless happiness of childhood. I hope this song resonates with you as much as the inspiration behind it warms my heart.
