Details:
I wrote this song about spending the first Christmas without Dad, as he passed away 4 months earlier.
It was so strange... I felt like I was following my Mom around the house like a puppy... I was on her heels all the time. It was like I was scared to let her get too far away from me... I was already at such a loss.
I really did sign his name in a Christmas card... for some strange reason, as I was looking for a card for Mom, my hand reached for one and when I looked inside it, it completely pertained to Mom and Dad''s relationship... who knows. Maybe Dad was using my body to do his work!!! Crazier stuff has happened I''m sure! :) So, I had his signature down to an artform, so,I signed his name on it and gave it to her. It just felt right. My Mom never even questioned it... I guess it seemed right to her too.
I sat at the Christmas table that year and many years later, pretending that he was just out of my eye sight, about to enter the room... as though he was still alive. That''s what I call my ''crazy game'' in the song.
You know those memories that take you RIGHT BACK to that specific time? That''s what I mean by supersliders (those red slippery things that tied to your feet!! LOVED THEM!) and an easy bake oven...I think I was in grade 3 and I remember that Christmas like it was yesterday. We all have a certain Christmas that stands out more than others... remember?? :)
So, if anything, I hope this song allows you to take a moment and remember those, whether it be family or friends, who you spent the holidays with in the past. They''re with you still, they just watch over you now instead... cherish them and take a moment to honour them at this time of the year.

That first year I never let Mom get too far
I signed your name along the bottom of
her Christmas card
We managed to get through
All we had was thoughts of you
Its Christmas without you
Skating on the river
Your hand it seemed ten times bigger than mine
I felt so much comfort with you and Mom on either side
Memories sweep over me
I place a star upon the tree
Its Christmas without you
At times I play this crazy game
Where I picture you out the corner of my eye
Youre laughing, smiling ear to ear
Youre caught up in the Christmas cheer of
Supersliders, easy-bake oven
Howd he know howd Santa know
A simple I love you written in the pristine snow
Thats all I ever wanted you to know
Memories sweep over me
I feel you here right next to me
Its Christmas without you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
